A great all-round view of the Beara Peninsula and the mountain ranges to the east of Hungry Hill. The summit is marked by a survey point. Behind some rocky outcrops you will find a sheltered spot for a break to enjoy the view of the wild Irish landscape at your feet.

Hungry Hill is the highest mountain on the Beara Peninsula and offers incredible views of the surrounding landscape. The hike to the summit is challenging, but the views from the top are definitely worth it. You will be rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of the peninsula and the sea.

In addition to its beauty, Hungry Hill also has a long and fascinating history. It is an important place for the people who live in the area and has cultural significance dating back to Celtic times. The mountain is woven into many legends and myths in Irish culture and is often considered sacred.

Hungry Hill also plays an important role in the history of the peninsula. In times past, copper was mined here and the mountain served as an important economic factor for the region.
