From this point on the R251 you have the most impressive and unobstructed view of the southwestern flank of Mount Errigal. The mountain rises here almost vertically from the peatland landscape, with the glittering white quartzite scree slopes often mistaken for snow. It is at this moment that you truly realise the immense scale of the mountain; the conical shape dominates the entire horizon here, forming a sharp contrast with the dark, surrounding "boglands".

If starting from Dunlewy and heading clockwise, this represents the very last section of the Slí An Earagail long-distance trail. Fittingly, it ends beneath the hulking presence of Errigal, the trail's namesake peak and highest mountain in the county. On this stretch, you're also rewarded with great views of the Poisoned Glen, a spectacular valley associated with legends.
