A Short Climb,
a Big Reward
The summit of Gortmaconnell Rock, which reveals a breathtaking viewpoint, can be reached by a short but rewarding climb contouring around the hill.
Walkers will be rewarded with wonderful 360-degree panoramic views of Cuilcagh Mountain, MacNean Valley, and the Erne Lowlands. The Owenbrean River can be seen here also, flowing down from Cuilcagh Mountain before sinking underground, eventually reaching the Marble Arch Caves system.
Gortmaconnell Viewpoint Walk
Park at the entrance way to the Gortmaconnell Viewpoint. Cross the stile and follow the rough farm track as it winds through patches of hazel forest that often harbour the feral goats which inhabit the area, to reach a fork in the track. Take the left-hand track and continue to follow. The track will end after another 200m where the route then continues up the open hillside to Gortmaconnell Viewpoint. The walk meanders through a working farm where you’ll have the opportunity to gaze upon some sheep, goats and you may even catch a glimpse of some beautiful horses.
