Seefin [Sui Finn]

About Seefin [Sui Finn]

Rising above the village of Ballinagree in North Cork, this 491m Tump offers a quiet escape into the Boggeragh Mountains. Characterised by typical upland peat and surrounding forestry, the summit provides a clear perspective over the Lee Valley and towards the higher, more prominent peak of Musheramore to the west.

• •The name derives from the Irish Suí Finn, meaning 'Finn’s Seat,' identifying it as one of many sites across Ireland traditionally associated with the mythical hunter-warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill.
• •From the summit, the view west is dominated by the distinctive profiles of the Paps of Anu in the Derrynasaggart Mountains, while the fertile lands of the Lee Valley stretch out to the south.
• •In common with much of the Boggeragh range, the terrain is often waterlogged; it is the sort of hill where 'waterproof' boots are treated as an optimistic suggestion rather than a guarantee.
