Unfortuntely this delicate natural balance is being disrupted as more visitors explore the mountain, damaging the habitat and disturbing the wildlife and flora that live here.
With no designated path, the trail’s remote, wet and boggy nature also means it can be very difficult to navigate for even the most experienced of walkers, posing a health and safety risk.
To protect the wildlife that live here, and for the safety of our visitors, we have taken the decision to close the Heath Trail to walkers.
Instead, visitors to the mountain are asked to to use the Ridge, Summit or Lough Trail during their visit.
