Mulnafye or Barraclay

The walk up to Mulnafye or Barraclay is properly rewarding, especially if you've come from Omagh for a day in the hills. This isn't a dramatic summit - the peak sits at around 600 metres and the views roll out across the Sperrins rather than dominating them. The path itself is straightforward enough, though the moorland gets boggy after rain, so waterproof boots aren't optional here.

Walkers will absolutely get more out of this than casual visitors. The surrounding peatland has a raw, quiet beauty that demands time to soak in rather than a quick snap and back down. Allow two hours for a decent round trip from the car park, though you could stretch it if the weather's holding and you fancy exploring the ridge walks.

What makes it worthwhile as part of a Fermanagh and Omagh break is how it fits between other local walks. Gortin Glen Glamping sits just five miles away, so you could combine a morning here with their forest trails or a loop back via different routes. It's not dramatic enough to justify a trip on its own, but if you're already in the area staying somewhere like Gortin Glen, it's an excellent excuse to get out and stretch your legs.

Go early in the day if you can. The moorland light changes fast, and morning mist can roll in without warning. Winter here gets properly wild, so stick to summer and early autumn for the clearest views.
