Blackstairs Mountain, Mountain summit in County Carlow and Wexford, Ireland
Blackstairs Mountain rises to 735 meters, forming part of a mountain range that separates County Carlow from County Wexford with distinct geographical features.
The southwestern ridge contains Caher Roe's Den, a cave connected to Cathaoir na gCapall, a horse thief from Laois who was executed in 1735.
Local residents gather at Mountain Sunday during the last weekend of July to celebrate traditions and share stories at Caher Roe's Den.
The primary access route starts at Scullogue Gap, following established paths that lead hikers through a gradual ascent lasting approximately two hours.
This peak ranks as Ireland's 89th highest mountain and contains several geological formations that create natural viewpoints over the southeastern landscape.
