Black Rock

Highlight • Climb

Not the highest climb around but it's a good challenge and provides great views over to Leinster Mountain on a clear day.

Turf Cutter's Hut

Highlight • Mountain Hut

Landmark at the top of Black Mountain that can be a lifesaver if the Irish weather sets in. If you have to dive for refuge in the hut you'll likely find plenty of other adventurers doing the same!

Mount Leinster

Highlight • Summit

At 794m high Mount Leinster is a tough challenge. A famous climb with a radio tower at the top, the view is exceptional (if the weather is clear). Well worth the climb to the top.
