The history of this place takes precedence over the actual scenery but there are lovely views over the town of Enniscorthy.

Tully Mountain: A gem on the fringes of Connemara.

As Tully Mountain is isolated from the rest of the peaks in Connemara it offers probably the best views of Mweelrea and the Twelve Bens that you are likely to see. A few hundred metres past Derryh...

David-Guenot: Track 3122 in area near Cnoc na Sleá, Donegal NW (Ireland)
CNOC NA SLEA: FANCY A HIKE AND A DIVE ?
Length: 4.0km, Creator time taken: 1h10m, Ascent: 184m,
Descent: 181m

Places: Start at C11910 41958, Cnoc na Sleá, end at Start

This small hill has a lot more to offer than its modest height would suggest, especially if you start from the parking S of the beautiful sandy Tra na Rosann, so you can enjoy a stroll on the beach before the mere 20/25 min pull up to the top of Cnoc na Slea.

From the top, I saw a hiker on his way up from the N, so there may be a possible route from there too, though there may be some access issues, as well. Anyway, from the beach, it is a nice wee hike. And if you fancy a swim on the way back...
