    Hiking

    On the descent from the summit of Diamond Hill, a wonderful view awaits you over the mountain range of the Twelve Bens (or Twelve Pins, Irish Na Beanna Beola). This picturesque mountain range in Connemara with twelve peaks between 513 and 729 meters. Also a worthwhile destination for all outdoor fans!

    Quite simply stunning! Here you get an unobstructed view of the Twelve Bens that seems to take up the whole of the sky. The mountains in the range are between 2,392 and 1,693 feet (516 and 729 m) high.
