Teeromoyle Mountain [Teermoyle Mountain] [Sliabh Thir O mBaoill]

Rising steeply above the deep glacial trough of Coomasaharn Lake, this high Iveragh peak offers a wild, peat-covered sanctuary. From its 760-metre summit, the vistas across Dingle Bay to the Blasket Islands are exceptional, while the jagged eastern skyline is dominated by the massive profile of Carrauntoohil.

• •The Irish name Sliabh Thir Ó mBaoill translates as 'Mountain of the Territory of the O’Boyles,' marking a historical connection to a specific clan that once held land in this part of Kerry.
• •The mountain forms part of a dramatic horseshoe ridge encircling Coomasaharn Lake, one of the finest examples of a glacial cirque in the region, featuring several smaller lakes at varying elevations.
• •Despite its significant height, the peak remains relatively quiet compared to the neighbouring MacGillycuddy's Reeks, offering a more solitary experience for those navigating its broad, often boggy summit plateau.
• •If you find yourself here in a typical Atlantic mist, the only 'view' you are likely to earn is a very intimate study of the local Sphagnum moss.
