Brougher Mountain

About Brougher Mountain

Rising above the village of Trillick on the Tyrone-Fermanagh border, this modest but prominent Marilyn is defined by its extensive summit communications infrastructure. While the terrain is typical upland moorland, the easy access via service tracks rewards walkers with a clear vantage point over the Clogher Valley and distant Sperrin Mountains.

Did You Know?

• •The name Brougher likely derives from the Irish word 'Bruach', meaning a bank, edge, or border, which is appropriate for a summit that straddles the boundary between County Tyrone and County Fermanagh.
• •The summit serves as a major broadcasting hub for the west of Northern Ireland; its tall masts are a constant navigational aid visible from much of the Clogher Valley.
• •On a clear day, the summit provides an excellent perspective over the drumlin-filled landscape of Fermanagh towards the distinct profiles of Cuilcagh and the Fermanagh lakelands.
• •While its height is modest, the hill is classified as a Marilyn due to its isolation, meaning it commands a drop of at least 150 metres on all sides relative to the surrounding terrain.
• •It is perhaps the only hill in the region where you can enjoy a sense of remote wilderness while standing directly beneath enough broadcasting power to reach half the province.
