County Tyrone at its highest
Tyrone's high point is Sawel Mountain, shared with Derry at the highest part of the Sperrins. The surrounding Glenelly Valley is part of the regional walking landscape highlighted by Tourism NI, giving this county entry a setting beyond the summit itself. A shared mountain can make a satisfying connection in your challenge journal, while preserving separate county records. Write down what you visited and the approach you used so that the link remains clear later.
Before you go
Plan your visit
Research Sawel within the Sperrins rather than borrowing details for another nearby hill. Use a map that covers the shared summit, the county boundary and your complete return. Tourism NI's Glenelly Valley descriptions are regional context, not turn-by-turn summit instructions. Confirm the access arrangements for your chosen approach locally, and keep the Tyrone and Derry records consistent if the same outing reached their common high point. Do not infer permission from county-list inclusion.
