Maghera

Maghera is a mountain summit in County Clare that rises to about 400 meters elevation. A paved road leads directly to the top, where a broadcasting transmitter station stands among the rolling countryside.

The mountain connects to Ireland's emigration history, particularly during the 19th century famine when many people left the region. This departure shaped the area's character and left lasting marks on local communities.

The summit incorporates the tradition of stone placement, where visitors contribute to a growing collection of memorial stones marking significant journeys.

The mountain is easily reached by a paved road that goes directly to the summit. The straightforward access makes it a good choice for visitors who want views without strenuous hiking.

From this summit you can see three important lakes spread across the landscape: Lough Ea, Lough Graney, and Lough Derg. These water bodies create a natural vantage point for observing the region's lakes together.
