    The second highest of the spectacular Twelve Bens, Bencorr (Binn Chorr in Irish) is a beautiful peak. It's one of the highlights of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, one of Ireland's great mountain routes. In Carrot Ridge, the mountain boasts one of Ireland's great rock climbing ridges too, with routes of varying difficulty.

    At 711 metres, Bencorr is the second highest peak of the ’12 Bens of Connemara’, which has some of the finest walking in Ireland. The mountains are not very high, the highest being only 730 metres, but they offer wonderful hiking opportunities with super scenery and are a feast for the eyes. As with all mountains, however, treat them with respect and ensure you are properly equipped at all times.
