Slemish Mountain


Slemish Mountain, the legendary first known Irish home of Saint Patrick, is  located in Co. Antrim.  The mountain rises about 1500 feet (437 metres) above the surrounding plain, and it is actually the central core of an extinct volcano. Slemish Mountain is open year-round, and on Saint Patrick's Day (17th March) large crowds hike to the top of the mountain as a pilgrimage.
