Baurtregaum Far NE Top

About Baurtregaum Far NE Top

Sitting on the northeastern fringe of the Slieve Mish range, this 601m Tump offers a rugged, less-frequented perspective of the Baurtregaum massif. The terrain is largely grassy and peat-covered, serving as a high-point shoulder that rewards walkers with clear, sharp views across Tralee Bay and the sandy spit of the Maharees peninsula.

Did You Know?

• •The parent mountain's name, Baurtregaum, comes from the Irish 'Barr Trí gCom', meaning the 'top of the three hollows', referring to the dramatic glacial cirques of Coumbolshere, Coumageila, and Coumanare that carve into its slopes.
• •This summit is typically visited as part of a long horseshoe ridge walk, connecting the main peak of Baurtregaum with the sharp-crested Gearhane to the west.
• •The vantage point offers a specific, elevated look at the Derrymore River valley as it cuts north towards the sea near Camp.
• •While the 'Far NE' designation makes it sound like a remote outpost, it is essentially a high-altitude balcony for the main Slieve Mish ridge, rarely visited by those sticking to the primary transit paths.
