Spaltindoagh

Spaltindoagh rises to 677 metres and sits right in the heart of the Sperrins, that sprawling upland wilderness between Cookstown and nowhere much at all. It's not the tallest peak in the range - you'll find higher summits nearby - but it's got character, the sort of craggy, windswept character that makes you feel properly small when you're standing on top of it.

The walk up takes about two hours from the usual starting points, with decent paths most of the way, though the final push gets properly steep. Bog underfoot, views that stretch across Mid Ulster on a clear day, and virtually nobody else about - that's the appeal here. Walkers who want solitude over Instagram moments will love it. Families with young legs can manage it, though toddlers might find the bog sections tedious. History types won't find much of archaeological interest, so don't come expecting ruins.

Weather's the real variable. This isn't a "pop up for an afternoon" sort of hill - give yourself a full day and check the forecast properly. Spring through autumn is decent, but even then the Sperrins can be moody and cloud-covered. Winter's a different beast altogether.

If you're staying at Sperrinview Glamping just down the road, you're ideally positioned. It's genuinely worth the walk for the sense of remoteness you get, though it's not a sensational peak. It's the sort of climb that rewards proper planning and decent weather more than most.
