About Cregganconroe

Situated in the lower reaches of the Sperrin Mountains in County Tyrone, this modest Hump offers a quiet, off-track experience. The terrain is characterized by rolling moorland and proximity to Creggan Forest. From the 300-metre summit, walkers can see across the Lough Neagh basin and towards the higher central Sperrin peaks like Mullaghcarn.

Did You Know?

  • •The name derives from the Irish 'Creagán Chon Rua', which translates to 'the rocky place of the red hound', likely a reference to local folklore or the historical presence of foxes in these uplands.
  • •It sits on the edge of the Creggan Forest, a sprawling coniferous plantation that provides a sheltered, wooded approach before the final push onto the open, heather-clad summit.
  • •The surrounding landscape is rich in Neolithic history; the nearby Creggandevesky Court Tomb is one of the finest examples of a megalithic burial site in Northern Ireland, indicating these hills have been significant for millennia.
  • •While the height is modest, its classification as a Hump means it possesses a prominence of at least 100 metres, making it a surprisingly distinct landmark when viewed from the lowlands of central Tyrone.
