Croghan Mountain, Mountain summit in County Wicklow, Ireland
The 606-meter-high Croghan Mountain stands between County Wicklow and Wexford, featuring extensive trails that lead through varied terrain to the summit.
During the late 18th century, locals gathered around Croghan Mountain to collect gold from nearby streams, marking a period of regional mining activity.
The mountain's name, Croghan Kinsella, derives from the Uí Chinnsealaigh family who controlled this territory during the medieval Gaelic period.
Three main walking paths start from the designated car park near The White Heaps, including the 4.2-kilometer Forde Farmhouse Trail and 7-kilometer Croghan Trail.
The eastern slopes of Croghan Mountain contain the Raheenleagh Wind Farm, established in 2016 with eleven large turbines generating renewable energy.
