Corrigasleggaun

Corrigasleggaun is a granite peak reaching about 790 meters in the southwestern Wicklow Mountains, forming part of the Lugnaquilla massif. The summit is marked by a stone cairn and sits above rolling slopes that descend toward surrounding valleys.

The peak has been known since early Irish times as Carraig na Sliogán, a name reflecting the distinctive rock formations visible across this landscape. For centuries, herders and travelers used this area as part of established routes through the mountains.

Local mountaineers use this summit as part of traditional climbing routes through the Wicklow range, connecting modern visitors with the region's long tradition of hill walking. The peak serves as a waypoint in seasonal expeditions that draw walkers from across Ireland.

Climbers should carry detailed maps and navigation tools since the summit can be hard to locate in poor visibility and trails are not clearly marked. Weather conditions change rapidly and winds are often strong, so proper mountain gear is important for safety.

Kelly's Lough, a glacial lake in a rocky corrie near the peak, sits in a dramatic mountain hollow that many hikers pass without noticing. The mountain also marks the source of the Carrawaystick River, which flows down the eastern slopes and cuts through the landscape below.
