Slievenanee

Rising to 543m within the Antrim Mountains, this broad, peat-covered upland offers a classic Glens experience. A prominent neighbor to Trostan, the county high point, its terrain is characteristic of the plateau—often heavy underfoot with blanket bog. The summit provides an exceptional vantage point over the Moyle and across to the Scottish coast.

• •The name is an anglicisation of the Irish Sliabh na n-Eagh, which translates as 'mountain of the steeds', suggesting a historical connection to wild horses or ancient grazing on its high plateau.
• •It is classified as a Hump, a hill with a prominence of at least 100 metres, marking it as a significant peak in the rolling topography between Trostan and Slieveanorra.
• •The summit offers a clear sightline down the length of Glenshesk, while looking east provides a sharp view of the North Channel and the distinct profile of the Mull of Kintyre.
• •The most direct approach is from the B93 road near Orra Lodge, though even this short ascent requires navigating several deep 'hags' and peat hallows that persist in all but the driest summers.
• •If you manage to reach the summit cairn with entirely dry socks, you have likely discovered a secret path unknown to most Antrim hillwalkers or the local weather is playing a particularly elaborate trick.
