Corcogemore

Corcogemore, Mountain summit in County Galway, Ireland

Corcogemore is a 609-metre peak in the southeastern part of the Maumturks range in Connemara National Park, County Galway. It is the range's most southerly summit and its eighth-highest, standing on a small massif with Mullach Glas and Binn Mhór. The summit lies across the Máméan pass from the main range.

The mountain's Irish name Corcóg means beehive or cone, from the shape of a traditional beehive. Cartographer Tim Robinson noted that the Ordnance Survey had incorrectly called it 'Leckavrea' for a hundred and fifty years; Leckavrea is a separate peak to the east. Since 1975 the University College Galway Mountaineering Club has run the annual Maamturks Challenge Walk, with a checkpoint on Corcogemore.

The Irish name Corcóg means "beehive", and also "cone", from the shape of a traditional beehive. Cartographer Tim Robinson noted that the Ordnance Survey called this mountain "Leckavrea" for a hundred and fifty years, although Leckavrea is a separate peak to the east. The pass of Máméan, separating the massif from the main range, has been a pilgrimage site dedicated to Saint Patrick since the 5th century.

Several hiking routes lead to the summit, with the most direct starting from the western side though difficulty varies with weather. Visitors should bring sturdy footwear, layers for warmth, and navigation tools since conditions can change rapidly at altitude.

Cartographer Tim Robinson noted that the Ordnance Survey called this mountain "Leckavrea" for about 150 years, although Leckavrea is a separate peak to the east. The summit is the first major checkpoint on the Maamturks Challenge, an annual walk run since 1975 by the University College Galway Mountaineering Club.
