Great view from the top. The trip up was a beautiful drive and you could see for miles and miles. We all got pics with the statue.

Worth the detour from the coast road, up a narrow mountain road to see this striking statue and admire the view from a height.
#Ample safe parking and good steps up to statue.

We hadn't been up to Gortmore for several years to see Manannan Mac Lir but on a day when most of the beaches were crowded, making a walk difficult, it was a nice alternative.
There were a few visitors enjoying the magnificent views so maintaining social distancing was easy.

just a couple of miles up from the coast road and some amazing views of the Foyle, Donegal and the North Antrim coast line

A little off the beaten track, but this statue and scenic overlook between Downhill and Benone is so worth visiting.

Small monument but there is a fantastic view from this point overlooking the farmland and beaches below and then across to Donegal/Inishowen.

This somewhat undistinguished sculpture with a tenuous connection to the site commands the highest point of a magnificent natural arena and seems like gilding the lily. The views of Magilligan's great sandy peninsula and the blue hills of Donegal from Gortmore are worthwhile making a journey here on their own account. The omnipresent breeze may deter travelers from long stays though they might also catch a glimpse of intrepid hang gliders doing their thing nearby.

This is a gorgeous place to be looking out over lough foyle, then over towards Donegal. The views from here are breathtaking it’s a lovely place for a picnic and just to sit and ponder.

I've been quite a bit now, and it's always worth the drive up the mountain.
The view,the fresh air, the cliff edge and serenity.
