About Legg

Rising above the South Sperrins, this modest Hump offers a quiet escape into the moorlands of County Londonderry. The terrain is typically rugged and heather-clad, rewarding a short climb with expansive views across the Moyola Valley towards the bulky mass of Slieve Gallion to the south-east.

Did You Know?

  • •The name likely derives from the Irish word log, meaning a hollow, referring to the natural depressions or dips found in the surrounding peat-covered slopes.
  • •Positioned on the eastern fringes of the Sperrin Mountains, the summit provides a clear perspective over the Moyola Valley towards the more prominent peaks of Mullaghmore and Slieve Gallion.
  • •Its classification as a Hump signifies that it has at least 100 metres of prominence, marking it as a distinct topographical feature within the undulations of the Londonderry and North Tyrone border.
  • •The ascent largely crosses traditional upland grazing territory, where the thick heather and blanket bog reflect the wild, uncultivated character of the Northern Irish uplands.
