Galway’s blend of coast and mountain is a large part of what makes this Irish county so extraordinary. If there’s one great way to see both at once, it’s by summitting Tully Mountain (also known as Letter Hill). At 1,168 feet (356 m), the hill is so eye-catching thanks to its setting and isolation. Rising out of the flat surroundings, it’s an obvious objective from the moment you see it.

Hiking

We took whatever looked like a path on the way up. On the way down things got clearer and made some other choices. You can take both paths or everything in between.
Very enjoyable walk up the Tully Mountain.

A good hill to do, with beautiful views down over towards nearby Freaghillaun South and Inishbofin, which is further away in the distance. The going is quite hard with no real paths, so expect it to be boggy and rocky with ferns. However, the views are well worth it. You are best put to park at the harbour to walk this hill.
