How to get there:
Take the N15 towards Donegal. After Drumcliff, drive for another few kilometers until you see a signpost towards Luke's Bridge to the right . On this road, turn right again towards the small waterreservoir. Passing this, go further up the mountain until you reach Luke's Bridge Facilities: Few car park spaces at luke's bridge Walk to the summit Summit: 526m Starting off at luke's Bridge, follow the tarmac road up towards the bog. This beautiful road follows the little stream on the right. The road turns soon into a bogroad which you need to follow until it stops and you have to follow a trach through the bog. Go straight ahead towards the mountain in front of you where you will notice a track beside the small stream. A very steep climb follows until you reach the top. From here, it is a gradual climb towards Benbulben Head following the flanks of the mountain. |

Never climb a mountain unprepared. The weather can quickly deteriorate and visibility can change quickly with the Irish weather.
