About Brown's Hill
Sitting in the eastern fringes of County Donegal’s Bluestack Mountains, this modest Tump offers a remote, pathless experience. The terrain is dominated by blanket bog and rough grasses typical of the Irish uplands. It provides a straightforward but heavy-going ascent for those looking to explore the quiet spaces between the Finn and Deele valleys.
