Knockninny, Sacred hill near Upper Lough Erne, Northern Ireland
Knockninny stands 200 meters above sea level, offering views across Upper Lough Erne and the surrounding Fermanagh landscape with its limestone formations.
The hill bears significance from early Christian times when Saint Ninnidh established a monastic settlement there during the 6th century.
Local farmers maintain traditional cattle grazing practices on Knockninny's slopes, continuing agricultural methods passed down through generations.
Several marked walking trails lead to the summit of Knockninny, with parking facilities available at the base near the Knockninny Country House.
The geological composition of Knockninny includes rare limestone deposits that formed during the Carboniferous period, approximately 340 million years ago.
