    Hiking

    Slievemore is the second highest peak on Achill Island after Croaghaun, in County Mayo, Ireland. Its elevation is 671 m (2,201 ft) and it has a trig pointed summit. A stunning peak, it is also an Irish Hewitt. At the base of Slievemore lies the Deserted Village. The village is divided into three areas called Tuar, Tuar Riabach and Faiche. There are approximately 100 houses in the village, aligned north-south and parallel to each other.
    For the ascent of Slievemore, a crossing is recommended, e.g. coming from the east of Doogort to the west. The ascent is steep and strenuous, sure-footedness is required. But the views across the beaches to the east and to Keel to the south are fantastic.

    Hiking

    This is definitely a challenging trail, and should only be done with good weather and a reliable GPS device. There is mostly no trail and some scrambling to get to the top. The ascend is steep and the descend is boggy even when it hasn’t rained for a while. Due to wayfinding plan more time, we did it in five hours including breaks and photo stops.
