Binevenagh, Mountain and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in County Londonderry, Northern Ireland.
The mountain rises to 385 meters with steep cliffs overlooking Lough Foyle, the Magilligan peninsula, and extends across the western edge of the Antrim Plateau.
The geological formation occurred 60 million years ago when molten lava created the distinct plateau structure that defines the current mountain landscape.
The name originates from Irish 'Binn Fhoibhne' meaning Foibhne's peak, reflecting the deep connection between the landscape and local Celtic heritage.
Visitors can access the summit via Leighery Road, where a dedicated parking area near a sharp bend leads to forest trails toward the mountain top.
An artificial lake at the summit serves as a rainbow trout fishery, while the mountain slopes provide launch sites for the Ulster Gliding Club operations.
