Slieve Meelbeg, Mountain summit in Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland.
Slieve Meelbeg rises to 702 meters in elevation, featuring rocky paths and mountain trails that wind through the natural Northern Irish landscape.
The mountain incorporates sections of the Mourne Wall, a granite structure built between 1904 and 1922 to enclose the Silent Valley Reservoir.
The name Slieve Meelbeg derives from Irish Sliabh Míol Beag, reflecting the ancient Gaelic naming traditions of the Northern Irish mountains.
Hikers access the summit via the Ott Track starting point, which provides parking facilities and connects to paths leading to neighboring peaks.
The mountain forms part of a circular route including Slieve Meelmore, allowing walkers to conquer two of the seven highest Mourne peaks.
