    Hiking

    The Priest's Chair, also known as the Glenshane Mass Rock is located just north of Bohilbreaga peak near Glenshane Forest and Eagle Rock.

    The rock got its name from an incident during The Penal Times. A young boy, acting as a lookout, deceived the searching soldiers, also known as The Red Coats, by pointing them in a different direction, protecting the priest and the mass rock.
