- A lovely clear day but cold for a hike up Knocknarea in Sligo.
Please note, The cairn and its surrounds at the summit of Knocknarea constitute a sacred burial place to people in this area and should be treated with dignity and respect - PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB THE CAIRN.
The clear-cut limestone mountain of Knocknarea, located on the Cúil Irra (Coolera) peninsula, forms one of County Sligo’s most conspicuous landmarks. Knocknarea Mountain (327m) dominates the skyline of Sligo. Formed from limestone over 300 million years ago, the summit is crowned by the great cairn of Queen Maeve (Miosgan Meadhbha) and has been an importance ritual focal point since Neolithic times. The presence of the passage tombs, along with circular house foundations and an extensive system of earthen banks enclosing the eastern approach to the summit, are all reminders that this was a place of intensive activity. The large cairn measuring some 55 meters across and 10 meters in height, was probably built around 3400BC, while some of the smaller passage tombs are potentially some one hundred years older.
A visit to the nearby interpretive centre at Carrowmore is highly recommended in order to gain a greater understanding of this landscape.
This is a very rewarding climb with spectacular views in all directions, including the Ox Mountains, Lough Gill, and Slieve League in Donegal and on a clear day Croagh Patrick in the west.
I hope you enjoy the video and I hope to see you all again soon.

Thanks Destiny, I hope you like the content ☺️
Hey Destiny thank you for coming over from Sean’s
Love watching your hikes first thing in the morning David, keeping it real and in the moment ❤
Thanks Erin, I'm glad you're enjoying them. I love getting out for them too :)
How did I miss this upload. David that was absolutely stunning, each and every frame, well done. Benbulben always towering over the county.
Thanks as always Carol. And also for suggesting my channel to others, seems like a new sub from you every day :)
That was wonderful!
Thanks Boyz 🙂
I did the walk from Strandhill to the cairn a few weeks ago. This was my first real hike since we moved to County Sligo late 2012 and, in fact, my first real hike in over eight years. Beautiful views. I found it hard going as I was out of practice and I was panting even more than you. Wild camping next but I don’t know where, in County Sligo, I can do it. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Graham, it can be a tough climb alright if you're out of practice. I'd like to do more wild camping too. Found some nice spots in Easkey. Let me know if you'd like a camping buddy 👍☺️
Ooh wooow..the views are absolutely breathtaking... beautiful Forest i must day.
That is one of my favorite places on Earth hehe
@@TheWanderingIrishmanI agree nature so fulfilling.. 😊
Love the slow TV style of the video! 💚☘️
Cheers buddy and I think you subbed, so thanks for that too. I go live on Friday evenings, so I'll give your channel a shout out. I found it really interesting.
Great footage as ever - we bloomin loved this walk 🇮🇪💚
It's a good one alright. I must have missed that one on your channel 😀
Hi i was just wondering why you never talk to the camera? Makes it more enjoyable and people love the irish accent as well. Just talk to the camera like it was a friend ..🙂💕🌷
Hi Irishwild, if you'll notice, sometimes I will make a video without talking and let the views speak for themselves. That was the case with this video. I'm much more confident talking to it now as you'll see in any of my more recent videos 🙂 thanks for the heads up though 🙂
Whoa! I just found this & it's amazing what you have here! I am moving to Sligo in a few months & holy.... where can I find a group going on a hiking tour for what you filmed here?
The very best of luck in Sligo, she is beautiful. There's a group page on FB you could join here: facebook.com/groups/sligoireland all the best!

ขอบคุณนะคะ😊
Hey there may I ask a favor? Could you ask Sean in Alaska if he’ll unblock me I might’ve spammed him by accident trying to win my prizes on Temu. I do that a lot lol and he probably blocked me because my messages don’t show it’s hard to watch a live video not be able to say anything. Thank you.❤❤
No worries, I'll say it to him :)
