About Aganny Top

Tucking into the northern reaches of County Leitrim, this 482-metre Tump occupies a wild, peat-clad plateau. It offers a rugged, off-the-beaten-track hike through characteristic Irish blanket bog. From the summit, the vistas open across the Arigna Valley to the southern shores of Lough Allen and the prominent profile of Cuilcagh.
