View of Lough Altan

Highlight • Viewpoint

Past the Mackoght you can see Lough Altan. You will see it until the summit of Mount Errigal. The lake from Mackoght can be seen even better.

Mount Errigal

Highlight • Summit

The way from the parking lot on the R251 to the Errigal is very boggy. Steep ascent over gravel. However, the effort is rewarded with a magnificent view!
