Cruach Loch Doimhne [Croaghloughdivna]

Rising above the rugged interior of South Donegal, this 311m peak offers a wild, off-path experience between Killybegs and Ardara. Its terrain is typical of the region: a mix of rough grass and boggy peat hags. It provides an excellent vantage point overlooking the deep waters of nearby Lough Divna.

• •The name translates from Irish as the 'stack of the deep lake,' referring to Lough Divna which sits directly to its west. 'Cruach' is a common term in Donegal for hills with a distinctive, often rounded or conical profile.
• •From the summit, walkers can look south towards the fishing port of Killybegs and out across Donegal Bay, with the sea cliffs of Slieve League visible to the west and the higher peaks of the Bluestack Mountains rising to the northeast.
• •In this part of Donegal, a hill of 311 metres is often less of a climb and more of an extended argument with a very determined peat bog.
