Slieve Bearnagh

Mountain in Northern Ireland

Slieve Bearnagh (from Irish Sliabh Bearnach 'gapped mountain')[1] is one of the Mourne Mountains in County Down, Northern Ireland.[2] It has a height of 739 metres (2,425 ft).[3] Its summit is crowned by two tors with a gap between them, giving it a distinctive shape.[2] The Mourne Wall crosses the summit of Slieve Bearnagh east to west. Paths lead to the cols on either side of the mountain, namely Pollaphuca ("pool of the púca") to the west and Hare's Gap to the east. From the latter, one can also descend southwards to the head of the Ben Crom reservoir.
