The Ulster High Points

Major Geographical High Points in the province of Ulster
An Ulster High Point is any of the 50 locations in the province of Ulster which feature on the overall official ​list of Ireland's Major Geographical High Points. This provincial list of Ulster High Points compiled by Kieron Gribbon was first published on 12th October 2017 on the High Point Ireland website.
​
Along with the Connacht, Leinster and Munster sub-lists, it comprises the first set of regional hill lists ever to be published for Ireland. Each is a secondary sub-list of the official ​list of Ireland's Major Geographical High Points and a standalone hillwalking challenge in its own right.

High Points offer great walking opportunities all year round, however we particularly recommend visiting them during months when the days are longest. For this reason, we promote upland walking as our monthly theme for June.

Support us (at no cost)

Our website is a 100% free resource for all to view without having to pay any subscription fees or being asked for donations. We cover all the costs of running and maintaining the website ourselves on a voluntary basis. And we do all of this purely for our love of walking in Ireland. The long-term development strategy for The Ireland Walking Guide website will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. In the meantime, here are some zero-cost, zero-time ways in which you can support the ongoing development of The Ireland Walking Guide and its growing family of independent Irish information websites.
​

Walking initiatives

We have developed the widest possible selection of meaningful initiatives to promote recreational walking in Ireland. These are delivered across The Ireland Walking Guide and High Point Ireland websites and range from monthly walking themes right through to the official All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships. We aim to deliver a consistent programme of initiatives every year on a recurring basis rather than a series of standalone one-off campaigns. Our "predictable" approach to participation initiatives means walkers always know what's coming up and have ample time to plan ahead. But why should you take part? Click here to find out...
