Belmore Mountain

Belmore Mountain is a summit in County Fermanagh that rises to 398 meters above sea level with a rounded peak and steep slopes. It ranks as the second highest elevation in the county and shapes the local landscape with its distinctive form.

Historian John O'Donovan documented this peak in his 1834 writings, linking it to the early populations of the area. These records reveal the long history of human connection with this landscape.

The mountain carries two names, with its Irish designation reflecting the linguistic heritage of the region and its connection to local tradition. These dual names show how place names here preserve stories from the past.

The mountain is accessible via marked hiking trails that make the ascent relatively straightforward. Spring through autumn offers the best visiting conditions, when the weather is more stable and the paths are easier to navigate.

The summit offers wide views across the county landscape and surrounding boglands that typify this region. On clear days visitors can see far into the distance and understand the geology of these northern landscapes.
