This is a 7km strenuous 4 hour round trip hike to the summit of Mullaghanattin near Ballaghbeama Gap and Sneem on the Ring of Kerry. 

Mullaghanattin in the Dunkerron Mountains, at 773m high, offers a tough but rewarding challenge to the regular hillwalker with good fitness. Immediately from the start of this walk, we’re treated to stunning views which only get better the higher we climb. 

This walk is entirely off-trail and requires suitable walking clothing and good waterproof boots. I recommend plenty of fluids, sufficient food and preferably a walking pole, even two. Extended periods of ascent require experience of walking in this type of moorland terrain. 

• Summiting the 775m high Mullaghanattin Mountain, one of the best mountains to climb in Ireland.
• Visiting the verticle walls of Ballaghbeama Gap, where an ice age glacier breached the mountain ridge.
• Taking regular breaks to savour the fabulous views across the Ring of Kerry peninsula and beyond.
• Marveling at nearby Carrauntoohil in the Magillicuddy’s Reeks and the ‘Pocket’ valley some 600m below.
• Exploring this geological wonderland and the incredible heights of the Dunkerron Mountains.
• Traversing the open moorland long ago smoothed by the deposits of ice age glaciers.
• Possible encounters with sheep, hares, mountain goats, huge ravens and perhaps the white-tailed sea eagles.
• Spectacular views of three peninsulas and even more mountain ranges.
