Black Rock Mountain

Black Rock Mountain rises to an elevation of 599 meters as part of the Blackstairs Mountains range on the border between Wexford and Carlow counties.

The mountain stands as the terminal peak of Mount Leinster's eastern shoulder, forming part of the geological formations that shaped Ireland's eastern landscape over millions of years.

Known locally as An Charraig Dhubh Thuaidh, the mountain reflects the strong connection between Irish language and landscape features throughout County Wexford's territory.

Multiple starting points for climbing the mountain exist, including access routes from Ballybawn Lane and Ballybeg Forest Road, with clear paths leading to the summit.

The mountain ranks as Ireland's 280th tallest peak and maintains an isolation distance of 1.8 kilometers from neighboring summits in the Blackstairs range.
