Slieve Gullion is always a lovely hike 🙂 On this occasion we will be starting from Killeavey Castle and making our way up to the top carpark before heading on up to the summit to the Cailleach Bearas house and lake. On a clear day the views from here are wonderful with the Cooley Mountains and the Mournes in the distance. After a break there, we will make our way down on the other side of the hill until we rejoin the trail back to our starting point.

This is a looped route with steep uneven mountain terrain and steps so it does require a decent level of fitness and proper footwear and clothing are essential. No jeans or runners please.

Duration: 4-5 hours approx

Difficulty: Decent fitness and stamina required.

Meeting Point: Killeavey Castle Estate BT358LQ
