Slemish Mountain is a wonderful place to visit at any time of year and is only 22Km from BallyCairn Accommodation. On a clear day, the panoramic views from the top of the mountain are stunning. The mountain is open all year round and on Saint Patrick's Day (17 March) large crowds hike to the top of the mountain as a pilgrimage. The 1.5 kilometre round walk to the summit and back takes approximately one hour in good weather. Excellent views can be had of the Antrim and Scottis
