Benbulben
Hiking Highlight
Great tour with a beautiful view from the "horseshoe" on the coast. The paths are little or no maked, so that you have to walk a little bit of map and feeling.

View from Benbulbin Plateau
Hiking Highlight
Excellent there and back walk. Some bog to cross when the initial track runs out but not too long. Definitely go beyond the Benbulbin summit to the end of the path for the wonderful view.

The viewpoint from here is just superb. Benbulpen's craggy facade is there in all its glory and towers over the surrounding countryside.
