Description

Wikipedia

Garraun (Irish: Maolchnoc, meaning 'bald hill') at 598 metres (1,962 ft), is the 224th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, however, while it is just short of the elevation threshold of 600-metres for other classifications (e.g. Vandeleur-Lynam, and Hewitt), it does have the prominence to be a Marilyn. Garraun lies on an isolated massif near the mouth of Killary Harbour at the far north sector of the Twelve Bens/Garraun Complex Special Area of Conservation in the Connemara National Park in County Galway. The southern slopes are a scenic backdrop to Kylemore Abbey and Kylemore Lough.
