If you have young children they will love this as they will feel they have really climbed a mountain! There are steep slippery bits for the kids, or you can stick to the easy track. The view from the top is amazing & it's very blustery, as you come back down you can have a go at yodelling!

a 1.2 km hike from the car park at the bottom of the mountain. A fairly easy walk up - even for young kids. On a clear day there are fantastic views over Strandhill, Sligo Bay, Rosses Point and as far as Aughris in South Sligo. Great reward for not much effort!

well worth visiting in fine weather.Ireland as the postcards show it.Lots of cairn graves older than the pyramids by thousands of years

Views are fab....kids loved it. Wear your hiking boots/runners for sure and bring a picnic. Was a bit windy on the day but once you get to the top you forget all about it.

nice and short walk up the hill to queen maeves crain. nice few over sligo if not to foggy and you can even walk down further towards strandhill

This is an excellent climb and does not take very long 30 minutes max. Make sure you wear the correct footwear. Magnificant views from the top. Well worth a visit.
