    Tips

    July 22, 2025

    Mullaghmesha (Mullach Méise, translating as “Summit of the Altar”) is a distinctive "Marilyn" peak. With a summit of 1,621 feet (494 m) and 686 feet (209 m) of prominence, the hill offers superb views over Bantry Bay and the Cork countryside.

    The terrain includes boggy patches and be aware that weather conditions can change rapidly, summit fog and sea mist are commonly experienced.

      There is parking for about two cars at a gate just above the point where the trail starts.

        The view from this bare mountain ridge is well worth the effort!
