Slievemore

Located in the heart of County Tyrone near Pomeroy, this Marilyn offers a surprisingly commanding presence despite its modest elevation. Characterised by rolling upland grazing and forestry, the summit provides an expansive perspective over the Clogher Valley towards the Fermanagh lakelands and the distant, rugged silhouettes of the Sperrin Mountains.

• •The name derives from the Irish Sliabh Mór, simply meaning 'big mountain.' While its 314-metre height is modest, it is the highest point in this immediate part of the county.
• •From the summit, the views are surprisingly far-reaching, encompassing the Sperrin Mountains to the north and the rolling hills of the Clogher Valley to the south.
• •The hill is a Marilyn, a classification it earns due to its 150-metre prominence from the surrounding landscape, making it a distinct and isolated peak.
• •Labeling a 1,000-foot hill as a 'Big Mountain' might seem like a bit of a stretch to a visitor from the Highlands, but among the low-lying drumlins of Tyrone, it holds its own.
