Top things to do in Spring

  1. Listen for the breathless, virtuoso song of the skylark
  2. Watch out for the 'parachuting' songflights of meadow pipits over the bog
  3. You might see hen harriers 'skydancing' over Benaughlin

Top things to do in Summer

  1. Walk to the summit on a good day, though you need experience and good equipment. Do not stray from the waymarked trail!
  2. Hear cuckoos in the limestone of Leggacurragh
  3. See sand martins nesting in the peat banks

Top things to do in Autumn

  1. Enjoy the fantastic scenery on a short walk, but take full account of the weather
  2. Admire the landscape in the snow, but do not walk onto the mountain unless you're extremely experienced
  3. Photograph the landscape from the car park at Gortalughany or the entrance track
