About Ballyvouskill

Situated in the Boggeragh Mountains near Carriganimmy, this 401m Tump offers a quiet ascent through typical North Cork moorland. While modest in height, it provides clear views across the Laney River valley toward the more prominent Musheramore and the distant, rugged silhouettes of the Derrynasaggart range to the west.
