About Caunoge
Rising above the northern shores of the Iveragh Peninsula, this rugged peak offers a quiet, off-path experience. Its peaty slopes provide a wilder alternative to the busier Kerry trails. Reaching the summit rewards walkers with expansive views across Dingle Bay to Mount Brandon and the jagged skyline of the MacGillycuddy's Reeks.

Did You Know?
- •The name likely derives from the Irish 'Cabhánóg', meaning a small hollow or cavity, which probably refers to the undulating depressions found in the local terrain.
- •From its 502-metre summit, you can look directly across the water to the Dingle Peninsula, with the massive profile of Mount Brandon often visible on clear days.
- •The hill is frequently climbed as part of a broad ridge walk that includes its higher neighbour, Teermoyle Mountain, located to the east.
- •While officially classified as both a 'Hump' and a 'Tump', these titles are of little comfort when navigating the pathless, boggy stretches of its lower slopes.
