Spectacular views over Sligo and coastlines spanning 4 counties from Donegal to Mayo. Perfect for those with an adventurous spirit.
Expect to walk a distance 10km and climb 500 meters
Located north of the more famous Benbulben, Benwisken is also knowing as ‘The Frozen Wave’ due to its unique and dramatic shape and is arguably the most exhilarating summit to stand upon in all of Sligo. The Glenniff Cliffs known to us as Annaconna need no introduction as they are one of counties most photographed locations.
This hike will take you from peaceful lowland blanket bog surroundings before making the main climb of the day up a step but safe route that leaves us sneaking up on the back of the famous Gleniff cliffs boasting mind blowing views of the Gleniff below and Benwisken’s summit in the distance, catch a glimpse of Diarmuid & Grainne’s cave and the Cauldron before making our way to Benwisken.
Arriving on Benwisken summit is a thrill to the senses as the land dramatically slopes and falls away in all directions, a true heart raising summit with views over Sligo county, Donegal and the mountains beyond.
