Fermanagh walks and hikes: Topped Mountain

Overview

Topped Mountain, standing at only 277 metres, is technically a hill – however, a short, sharp climb from the car park leads to the summit, which provides extensive 360-degree vistas over Upper and Lower Lough Erne and the west of the province.

On a clear day, the Sperrins can be seen to the north, Clogher Valley to the east, and all of Fermanagh lies before you to the west.

On the summit, you will find a 'trig' point and an ancient cairn, a protected monument, while the trig point was originally erected by Ordnance Survey to assist with the remapping of Britain.

The information on this walking route has been provided by Fermanagh and Omagh District Council and also features on a series of walking cards which have been developed to promote walking opportunities, trails and routes within the Council district.

Please note that to help reduce the risk of spreading Covid-19, social distancing should be adhered to.

When visiting this or any similar area, try to avoid busy times, use the designated car parking spaces, and ‘Leave No Trace’ to ensure we can protect our environment for the enjoyment of all.
