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.

The Galway Hooker Monument was designed by architect and sculptor Eamon O'Doherty. It was erected in Eyre Square in 1984 to commemorate the 500th anniversary of Galway's charter. The sculpture, also known as the Quincentennial Fountain, symbolizes the sails of Galway Hooker boats, traditional vessels that originated in Galway. The listed work also commemorates the importance of the sea in the city's development.

The building is stunning and still shows the old Southern Ireland.

The River Corrib, flowing from Lough Corrib to Galway Bay, is one of Europe's fastest-flowing rivers, renowned for its powerful current and historical role in powering mills and generating hydroelectric energy. The scenic paths along its banks are ideal for leisurely rides while enjoying views of the river, bridges, and experiencing the vibrant city life.

Ben Lettery Hostel is the ideal basecamp for exploring the Twelve Bens and wider Connemara. It has all the amenities you'd expect, including a drying room for when those Atlantic fronts are up to no good. As well as standard rooms, there are also three bell tents for more of a glamping vibe.

A spine of shattered quartzite, Benbreen (Binn Braoin in Irish) is a long ridge rather than a classic pointed summit. There's some fun scrambling to be had, as well as knockout views. One of the highlights of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, it's the fourth highest summit in the Twelve Bens range.

The third highest of the Twelve Bens, Bencollaghduff (Binn Dubh in Irish) is a gorgeous peak right in the heart of the range. It marks around the halfway point of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, one of Ireland's finest mountain journeys. Expect glorious views from the summit on a clear day, with Benbaun dominating matters to the northwest.

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.
