Hen Mountain is one of the less challenging climbs of the Mourne Mountain range, not to worry though, as it still provides the stunning panoramic views that the Mournes are so good at showcasing. There are a few rocky outcrops up here which can be discovered and explored, just do watch your footing as you move about.

Enjoy a stroll along this wild & beautiful landscape nestled at the foothills of Hen Mountain. If doing a back and forth to Hen Mountain, this is a great one to do with kids.

This mountain often gets ignored as it sits between Pigeon and Eagle mountain but it's a great spot with lovely views.

Not particularly high so a nice easy climb but rewarding views down over Spelga. Great spot to sit for a break sheltering behind the mourne wall.

Great views back down over Hen mountain from here. Best approached from the Hen mountain side and just head straight up. Not a very well worn path but it's easy to see where you need to go. It can get wet/muddy (as mountains generally do!) so best to be in decent hiking footwear.
