Cnoc Onna [Crockuna]

About Cnoc Onna [Crockuna]

Rising above the village of An Charraig in Southwest Donegal, this 400-metre Hump offers a quiet, peat-covered alternative to the nearby maritime giants. The ascent is a rugged walk through typical Donegal moorland, rewarding hikers with clear perspectives over the Glen River valley and out towards the Atlantic at Teelin Bay.

Did You Know?

• •The name is likely derived from the Irish Cnoc Úna, meaning 'Una’s Hill', though the identity of the specific Una who lent her name to this high ground has been lost to local folklore.
• •Positioned inland from the famous sea cliffs of Slieve League, the summit provides a superior vantage point for seeing the landward side of the Bunglass cliffs and the sprawling boglands of the Sliabh Liag peninsula.
• •To the west, the views are dominated by the distinctive profile of Slieve Tooey and the remote, rugged coastline stretching toward the distant headland at Glen Head.
• •At precisely 400 metres high, the hill manages the neat trick of being exactly four times the height required to qualify as a Hump, yet it remains blissfully ignored by the crowds heading for the coast.
