Dart Mountain is a 619m peak located in the heart of the Sperrins in County Londonderry. It's a beautiful location for a walk, affording the visitor stunning views over the picturesque surrounding countryside.

Formed from a glacial overflow, Barnes Gap is truly breathtaking. On your way up, don't forget to take in the spectacular views. The gap cuts through the east-west crest line of the southern Sperrin Mountains ridge, between the hills of Mullaghbane and Mullaghbolig.

Sawel Mountain stands at 678m and is the highest peak in the Sperrins range, and the 8th highest in Northern Ireland. The vegetation around the summit consists of montane heathland, featuring a medley of plant life including heather, bilberries and cowberries. From the summit, you can enjoy uninterrupted views across the countryside of County Londonderry and Tyrone. It's all downhill from this point on, so you can enjoy a scenic descent back to the carpark.

As you wind along Meenadoo Road (also part of the Ulster Way), you will be delighted by some stunning vistas of fresh rolling green countryside and farmland dotted with sheep.

Make sure to pause for a moment at Barnes Gap to take in the exceptional natural beauty this area has to offer. The gap was formed from a glacial overflow and cuts through the east-west crest line of the southern Sperrin Mountains ridge, between the hills of Mullaghbane and Mullaghbolig.
