Hungry Hill, Mountain summit in Beara Peninsula, Ireland
Hungry Hill rises to 685 meters as the highest peak of the Caha Mountains, featuring steep eastern slopes and rocky ridges across its terrain.
The mountain contains geological formations of purple and green sandstone from the Caha Mountain Formation, dating back 250 million years.
English author Daphne du Maurier selected Hungry Hill as the setting and title for her 1943 novel about a mining family's generational story.
The summit trail requires 7 to 8 hours to complete the 13-kilometer route, demanding experience in mountain navigation and favorable weather conditions.
The Mare's Tail waterfall at the base of Hungry Hill stands as the highest waterfall across Ireland and the United Kingdom.
