에셰케린 최고의 워킹 & 하이킹 경로

Slieve Beagh at 380 m (1,247 ft) is the highest point of the high mountain area on the Fermanagh-Tyrone border. There is a lot of blanket bog and mossy moorland here, this is an important upland habitat and sequester of peat.

Lough Antrawar lies in the dip southeast of Slieve Beagh. The slopes above the lough are very wet and boggy so this is where the ground drains. The outflow stream flows down the valley and joins the River Blackwater.

The southeast top of Slieve Beagh stands at 373 m (1,224 ft). It's a sprawling boggy summit which is quite an effort to climb. The true summit stands at 380 m (1,247 ft) over the border a short distance to the north west.

Good walking boots and waterproof jacket recommended.

The loop starts from Sliabh Beagh Hotel and takes in forest trails, open bogland and wide open views. When conditions are clear, you can see 14 counties from this looped walk alone!

It is particularly stunning up here in August when the heather is in full purple bloom. At 292m high, Lough Antrawer is around 1km in length.

There is a great view from the car park, but even better, park up your bike and take the short trail to the hiking viewpoint. There you can marvel at the panoramic views across County Fermanagh and County Monaghan. Take a seat in the oversized chair and enjoy. Especially lovely at sunrise and sunset.

This is an extraordinarily wild and scenic part of Northern Ireland. The lough appears on your right as you travel down Carnmore Road against a backdrop of vibrant green coniferous forest.
