One of two mountains by this name, Slieve Snaght (Sliabh Sneacht) translates to ‘snow mountain’ and earns its name by keeping snow on its peak unseasonably late into the spring. At 2,018 feet (615 m), its position on the Inishowen peninsula makes it one of Ireland’s most northerly mountains, and on particularly clear days, you can see across the sea to Scotland.
