Bohilbreaga

About Bohilbreaga

Rising above the village of Moneyneany in the eastern Sperrins, this 478-metre summit offers a quiet, peat-heavy ascent. It is a Tump defined by its isolation and expansive moorland character. Walkers can expect rough, pathless terrain that yields open views across the Glenelly Valley toward the higher peak of Mullaghaneany.

• •The name likely derives from the Irish Buachaill Bréige, meaning 'false boy.' This term was traditionally applied to a standing stone or a prominent summit cairn that, when viewed from a distance or through mist, resembled the silhouette of a person.
• •From the summit, the view stretches southward across the Moyola Valley to the distinctive, flat-topped profile of Slieve Gallion and eastwards towards the basalt escarpments of the Antrim Hills.
• •As with much of the central Sperrin range, the ground is characterized by thick blanket bog; it is the kind of landscape where the quality of your gaiters is tested far more than your navigational flair.
