Slievemore, Mountain summit on Achill Island, Ireland

Slievemore rises to 671 meters above sea level, forming a conical peak that stands as the second highest elevation point on Achill Island.

The mountain features the Deserted Village at its base, consisting of stone houses abandoned around 1850 during a period of significant population decline.

Local farmers throughout generations used a large white rock near the mountain as a strategic lookout point during the historical penal times in Ireland.

Multiple hiking trails lead to the summit from Dugort Beach, crossing steep grassy slopes and rocky terrain that requires steady footing and proper hiking equipment.

The summit provides views extending to the Inishkea Islands, Croaghau, and the Nephin mountain range across the waters of the North Atlantic Ocean.

Elevation above the sea: 671 m

GPS coordinates: 54.00974,-10.05899
