Event Description

Explore the violent geological past of the Slieve Gullion Area on this guided hike on Armagh’s highest peak.

This mountain top is not only a former volcanic conduit and world’s first designated volcanic ring dyke, but it’s also the site of Ireland’s highest surviving passage tomb, dating to an incredible 5000 years old! Follow our guides for some fascinating history, geology and of course myth surrounding Fionn Mac Cumhaill, known for his famous exploits at the UNESCO site of Giant’s Causeway
