For serious climbers, Errigal is Donegal’s tallest peak. With its dramatic shape and pointed summit Errigal Mountain near Gweedore, at 2,464 ft (751m) the tallest and steepest of Donegal’s Seven Sisters range. In recent years, incredible work has gone into making climbing Errigal much more enjoyable with the addition of both a path through the boggy section and steps towards the summit. It is 55 miles from the hotel.
