Amazing views! There's two climbs, one is very doable and takes about 45 mins, just a straight walk up. The other is longer and goes through the forest. That one is likely a bit more challenging and would take closer to 1.5-2 hours.

Its long steepish climb but its well worth the effort. I can see why Maeve chose this to be her last resting place - the views are wide ranging and beautiful. Rest in peace Maeve.

Stunning views on the walk up to the cairn. We took the path opposite the Rugby club car park (you can park there for 2 euros). Easy trail to follow and dog friendly. The cairn is massive and well worth the walk. Remember to take a stone to add to the tomb. Walk was busy when we went so go early or late for a more tranquil experience.

There are great options for different hikes reaching the top. Either close to Strandhill (with parking at the Rugby Club) or on the opposite side at the traditional trail. Best visited on a clear day to fully admire the Dartry Mountains, Ox Mountains and ocean views. For me, one of the iconic views from anywhere on Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way. Well worth combining with a visit to nearby Carrowmore megalithic site to get the full context of this ancient structure and landscape.

Pure pleasure? unforgettable place. Steps lead to the top and there are benches on the halts. Great place for a picnic and a great weekend getaway. And at the top you can see Sligo and the surrounding area. walking route about an hour
