Beinn Rein [Clagh Ouyr North Top]

About Beinn Rein [Clagh Ouyr North Top]

Rising as a secondary shoulder of the more prominent Clagh Ouyr, this Manx Tump offers a quiet perspective on the island's central massif. The terrain is typical upland heath, providing a clear vantage point across the Laxey Valley toward the Great Laxey Wheel and the dominant, mast-topped peak of Snaefell to the west.

Did You Know?

• •The name derives from the Manx Gaelic 'Beinn' (mountain) and likely 'Rinn' (a point or ridge), describing its role as a protruding spur on the high ridge line that connects Snaefell to the northern coast.
• •It serves as a key navigation marker for those walking the high-level ridge between Clagh Ouyr and North Barrule, overlooking the deep, steep-sided bowls of the Corrany Valley.
• •Summit views are particularly rewarding on clear days, looking east across the Irish Sea towards the distinct outlines of the Lake District fells and the peaks of Snowdonia.
• •Despite its status as a mere 'North Top', it comfortably outheights the island's southern landmarks, standing nearly 100 metres taller than the better-known South Barrule.
