Ireland is renowned for its breathtaking attractions, including the majestic Cliffs of Moher, the enchanting Giants Causeway, and the scenic Wild Atlantic Way. However, in recent years, another gem has emerged in the spotlight: the stunning Cuilcagh Mountain.
Nestled in County Fermanagh, Cuilcagh Mountain has captured the imagination of adventurers and nature enthusiasts alike. What sets it apart is its remarkable trail, which gained widespread attention on social media following the installation of a boardwalk leading up to the summit in 2015. This innovative infrastructure not only enhances accessibility but also minimizes environmental impact, allowing visitors to traverse the rugged terrain with ease.
The ascent along the boardwalk offers a unique experience, with each step revealing breathtaking vistas of the surrounding landscape. As hikers make their way upwards, they are treated to panoramic views of lush green valleys, shimmering lakes, and rolling hills—a feast for the eyes and the soul.
How to get there?
The Cuilcagh Boardwalk is located 50 minutes from Errigal Country House Hotel and can be accessed via the R188 and A509.
