The summit features a prominent cairn, which provides a perfect photo opportunity against the striking backdrop of the surrounding peaks.
Tievebulliagh is composed primarily of granite, which forms the rugged landscape typical of the Mourne Mountains. The glacial processes that shaped the region left behind depressions and ridges that hikers can explore.
From the summit, you can see the Silent Valley Reservoir, Slieve Donard, and the beautiful Mourne coastline.
The name 'Tievebulliagh' derives from the Irish 'Tighbhealadha', meaning 'House of the mouth or gob', which has a rather amusing twist if you think about it too hard.
This peak is part of the renowned Mourne Mountains, which have been inspiration for poets and artists for generations, proving once again that nature inspires the best of us!
This popular route begins in Cushendall and follows a well-trodden path towards Tievebulliagh. Starting from the village, head towards the Glen Ballyemon Road and follow it to the designated parking area near the start of the trail. The ascent involves crossing open moorland and grassy slopes, offering stunning views of the Antrim coastline and Rathlin Island. The summit is marked by a trig point and offers a great vantage point for photography.
This scenic circular route begins at the Glen Ballyemon car park and takes walkers through a mix of moorland and rugged terrain. After ascending Tievebulliagh, the route loops back via the Glen Ballyemon valley, passing by the ruins of old farms and offering insights into the history of the area. The descent is gentle and provides a pleasant contrast to the steeper ascent.
Starting from a small layby near the Glendun River, this less frequented route takes walkers up the southern slopes of Tievebulliagh. The terrain here is steeper and more rugged, providing a challenge for experienced walkers. However, the panoramic views from the summit, including the Glens of Antrim and the nearby Lurigethan, make the effort worthwhile.
This straightforward linear route starts in the picturesque village of Cushendun. Following local trails and minor roads, the route heads towards Tievebulliagh's western slopes. The ascent is gradual but crosses uneven ground, so sturdy footwear is essential. This route is ideal for those who prefer a shorter walk with direct access to the hill.
For seasoned walkers, this route begins with an ascent of Lurigethan before traversing the ridge towards Tievebulliagh. Starting at Waterfoot, follow the ridge to enjoy expansive views over the Antrim Glens and the Irish Sea. This demanding walk is best undertaken in good weather conditions due to its length and exposure.
The nearest parking area is located at the Carrick Little car park, which is around 5 km from the starting point of the most common route.
Public transport services are limited, visiting by car is recommended. Buses do run from Newcastle to various points nearby.
