Sliabh Beagh Way

The Sliabh Beagh Way is 65.81 km long with 1,302 m of total ascent. It is generally described as a two-day route, but many walkers spread it over 2 to 4 days depending on pace, weather, and how much time is spent on the road and moorland sections.

The Sliabh Beagh Way is graded easy, which makes it one of the more approachable multi-day walks in this part of Northern Ireland. Even so, 65.81 km is still a substantial distance, and the route includes a mix of country lanes, forest tracks, and a remote moorland section around Sliabh Beagh, so basic fitness and route planning still matter.

The Sliabh Beagh Way begins in Aughnacloy and finishes in Lisnaskea. The route crosses a broad border landscape through County Tyrone, County Monaghan, and County Fermanagh, passing through countryside that includes valleys, drumlins, lakeland, and the upland area around Sliabh Beagh.

The Sliabh Beagh Way follows a mixture of quiet country lanes, forest tracks, and open moorland paths. One of the standout sections is the remote crossing of the moor around Sliabh Beagh, while other stretches are on firmer, waymarked ground that helps keep the overall route accessible for fit walkers.

Named highlights on the Sliabh Beagh Way include St Patrick’s Chair and Well, the River Blackwater crossing, and views toward Upper Lough Erne. The route also links places such as Aughnacloy, Donagh, and Lisnaskea, combining upland scenery with pastoral farmland and lakeland views.

The Sliabh Beagh Way is known for good signage along the route, which is one reason it is often considered suitable for fit walkers without advanced mountain experience. That said, it is still a 65.81 km multi-day trail, and the more remote moorland sections around Sliabh Beagh can feel exposed in poor visibility.
