Large burial mound on the Knocknarea near Sligo. The climb is nice and not too long. Allegedly the queen was buried standing here in her armor!

Knocknarea Forest Walk

Highlight • Forest

When it is foggy, there is a mystical atmosphere in the forest at Knocknarea. And the denser the forest, the more beautiful the view over it. ;-)
