📍Nephin

Nephin is Ireland's highest standalone mountain at 806 metres, as well as the second highest peak in Connaught.

Situated near the village of Lahardane and west of Loch Conn the views from the top are breathtaking. 

Length: Approx 4 hours 

Height: 806m 

What to wear: Waterproof hiking boots (because of the boggy nature), waterproof pants (advisable, but not necessary), warm top, hat and gloves (depending on time of year). Make sure to look at the forecast and plan accordingly. 

How to get there: Type in 'Nephin Car Park' into Google Maps and it will lead you to the starting point of the climb. From there, there is a trail which you can follow all the way up and down the mountain. 

Tips: Bring plenty of water, and a few snacks.
