Hiking
The Binevenagh Scenic Route takes you up to the top of the mountain with spectacular views over Magilligan to Donegal.
The statue of Manannán Mac Lir, the Celtic God of "The Sea and The Broighter Gold" is at a truly beautiful viewpoint, well worth a visit.

Manannan Mac Lir is mythical Irish sea god, said to be a warrior and king of the otherworld. The statue of this king is situated on a hill in the Binevenagh AONB, overlooking the channel toward Greencastle, providing some absoloutely breathtaking views across the surrounding countryside. After your energy-consuming journey up this hill you'll definitely need a rest, so take a seat and take it all in before heading back to your starting point.
