周辺のスポット/アトラクション・トップ6

Slieve Gallion NE Top is a mountain summit in the region in the county of Mid-Ulster, Ireland. It stands at 496m and provides sensational views across the Sperrins mountain range and lough neagh.

An enjoyable 4km walking track leads you around the serene Lough Fea in the eastern Sperrins in Northern Ireland. The scenery is mountainous and panoramic, and the calm waters bring many anglers and are home to a number of fascinating bird species, often seen flitting along the lake. The walk is lovely and flat and features a children's play area, toilets, and plenty of rain shelters in case of unpredictable weather.

Here you can enjoy views up to the beautiful Gallion mountains and the surrounding countryside of County Londonderry.

The church ruins date from the early 16th century but include stones from a much earlier pre 11th century church. After a new church was built, this one fell into disrepair, but the graveyard remains in use.

Great climb and view of the sperins and lough neagh

Slieve Gallion is 528 metres high and sits on the western shore of Lough Neagh. The mountain is a volcanic plug meaning it is formed from volcanic igneous rock and granite on the southern slopes. There is plenty of wildlife in the area with the Irish hare, the curlew and red grouse to spot.

On the way back, after Point 4, there is a large segment over private land. No access allowed. On the way back, the route goes over private land where walking is not allowed. We were turned back by the landowner and were not allowed to continue on his property (from point 4 to 5 on the route)! We had to walk about 6 km extra to get to the starting point (A)!

Don't hang around on a cold day
