About Slieve League
Slieve League rises above the Atlantic west of Teelin and Carrick in south-west Donegal. On its south side the mountain ends in sea cliffs that fall from near the summit to the water. It is a Marilyn and an Arderin, with 475 m of prominence.
Most visitors drive to the Bunglass viewpoint, then follow the cliff-top path west and up the ridge. Near the top the path crosses One Man's Pass, a narrow crest with steep drops on both sides. In high wind or wet weather it is no place to linger. The Pilgrim Path from the Teelin side offers a gentler line up the landward slope.
You can combine the two: up the Pilgrim Path and back along the cliffs to Bunglass, if you arrange transport between the starts.
Slieve League is 596 m (1,957 ft) high with 475 m of prominence. It is in Blue Stack Mountains, Ireland. OS grid reference G543783. It is the 7th highest of the 45 summits Peakify lists in Blue Stack Mountains. The nearest summits are Liathan (3.2 km), Cruach Loch Doimhne (6.1 km) and Cnoc Cruach an Chuilinn (8.9 km).
It is a narrow ridge with big drops, and wind makes it serious. In good weather careful walkers cross it without using their hands.
The Pilgrim Path from the Teelin side climbs the gentler landward slope and avoids the cliff edge.
The Bunglass viewpoint car park is the start for the cliff route. The Pilgrim Path starts on the Teelin side.
