It's a wonder Nephin Mór isn't called the "Giant of Connacht".
The highest stand alone mountain in Ireland and the second-highest mountain in Connacht, it is Ireland's Mont Ventoux. Well, maybe not exactly the same, but you can see the peak for the majority of the hike, as here at around the halfway point. The hike is well marked and the path is clear.
