Hiking
Knockmore has super views out over the sea and towards Clew Bay from its trig pointed summit. There are a variety of routes to the top and the ascent is generally steep but it is all worth while for the views. There is also a large cairn just to the west of the summit.

Hiking
A rather inconspicuous stone stele marks the highest point of the island, the summit of Knockmore.
On clear days, there is a panoramic view from Achill Island across the many islands of Clew Bay, the sacred mountain Croagh Patrick, Conemarra, and Inisturk.
