Mullaghclogha

About Mullaghclogha

Rising as a broad, peat-covered dome in the heart of the Sperrin Mountains, this remote summit offers a wild, untracked experience. Often climbed alongside neighbouring Mullaghaneany, its heathery slopes require careful navigation. From the top, views stretch across the Glenelly Valley toward the rugged Derryveagh Mountains of Donegal.

Key Statistics

Did You Know?

• •The name derives from the Irish Mullach Cloiche, meaning 'summit of the stone,' which likely refers to the scattered rock found amidst the high-altitude heath.
• •It is frequently bagged as part of a high-level ridge walk starting from the Glenelly Valley, connecting with neighboring Mullaghaneany and Meenard to the east.
• •On a clear day, the summit offers an impressive vista of Sawel Mountain, the highest point in the Sperrins, and the distant, jagged silhouette of Errigal in County Donegal.
• •The summit terrain is notoriously boggy; the 'stony' description in its name may feel like a polite exaggeration once you are navigating the persistent peat hags.
