Slieau Freoaghane is a mountain summit on the Isle of Man standing at 488 meters high, marked by a white quartz cairn and pole at its peak. The mountain is accessible via several hiking routes from different starting points nearby.
The mountain is one of five designated Marilyn peaks on the Isle of Man, giving it special status in British mountaineering geography. This classification makes it a notable landmark for mountaineers.
The name comes from Manx Gaelic and means 'mountain of the bilberry', referring to the wild berries that grow on its slopes. Visitors can spot this local vegetation while walking up the mountain.
The summit is reachable via multiple hiking trails starting from Kirk Michael, Barregarrow to the west, or Brandy Cottage to the south. The best time to visit is on clear, dry days when visibility is good.
The actual summit sits exactly 4 meters west of the triangulation point, requiring careful navigation for those seeking the true peak. This detail matters for hikers aiming to reach the highest ground.
