Garraun mountain in Irish is called Maolchnoc (Bald hill) and is the most northerly point of the Twelve Bens range. The walk joins from the roadway on the long grassy north western spur to the spot height (598m). The top is exposed and wild bordering the Atlantic Ocean, Connemara coastline and islands along with connecting mountain landscape of the Bens. There are some good examples here of stone cairns and shallow mountain lakes dotted across the upland section.
