Slemish, Volcanic summit in County Antrim, Northern Ireland.
The mountain reaches 437 meters in elevation and represents the remains of an extinct volcano with steep upper sections of olivine dolerite formation.
During the late 18th century, Slemish served as a United Irish camp location during the 1798 rebellion in County Antrim.
Saint Patrick spent six years as a shepherd on Slemish Mountain after being brought to Ireland as a slave in his youth.
The mountain path extends one and a half kilometers for a round trip, with parking facilities and interpretation boards at the base.
From the summit, visitors observe the Antrim coast, Scottish shores, Lough Neagh, and Sperrin Mountains under clear weather conditions.
