Ballycurragh Hill

About Ballycurragh Hill

Situated in the quieter southern reaches of the Wicklow Mountains, this modest summit offers a tranquil escape from the busier northern glens. Largely blanketed by commercial forestry, the ascent rewards walkers with clear views across to nearby Annagh Hill and the rolling farmland of the Wexford border.
