McGuill's Coffee House & Ring of Gullion Cycle Hire

Highlight • Cafe

The setting is done with great attention to detail, and it almost feels like a quick picnic in the mountains when you sit down at the rustic tables and look into the distance. The patterned cups and saucers give the place a cozy touch and make the whole thing that little bit more special.

The view of the surrounding hills and the relaxed atmosphere invite you to take a short break - perfect for resting your legs and just taking a breather. The coffee house is not only friendly to cyclists, but even offers bike rental for the Ring of Gullion. Handy if you need an extra boost for the next stage!

The surroundings are green and spacious, a nice mix of Irish idyll and relaxed hospitality. The owners seem to take the attention to detail seriously, which is reflected in the little things like the decorative elements and the cozy atmosphere.

Slieve Gullion Summit

Highlight • Volcano

The highest Passage Tomb in the British Isles is located on the summit of Slieve Gullion at 573 meters. The passage grave can be entered through a niche that is oriented towards the point where the sun sets on the winter solstice. The view from the extinct volcano is fantastic all around.

North Cairn of Slieve Gullion and Calliagh Beara's Lough

Highlight • Summit

The North Cairn of Slieve Gullion is somewhat smaller than the South Cairn; it measures about 18 meters in diameter. During excavations, two stone boxes from the Bronze Age were found in the hill. Right next to it is the "Calliagh Beara's Lough" on top of the ridge.
