Become a Highpointeer


Become a Highpointeer by visiting locations on the Gribbon list of Ireland's major geographical High Points. As well as the full list challenge (all 188 major geographical high points in Ireland), you may instead prefer to undertake one of the 16 sub-list challenges. These challenges may also inspire individuals, groups and event organisers who are looking for ways to raise funds for good causes.

Please note that access to some High Point locations require special permission and arrangements to be made prior to any attempted visit. Such requirements, where they are known to exist, are mentioned on relevant High Point location webpages on the High Point Ireland website.

The list and its primary sub-lists
  • The complete High Points list (KG)
  • Province High Points
  • County High Points
  • Local Council High Points (KG)
  • Range High Points (KG)
  • Major Island High Points (KG)
  • Major River High Points (KG)
  • 20km Isolation High Points (KG)
  • 500m Prominence High Points

Each list / sub-list above marked (KG) is an original compilation by Kieron Gribbon and was first published on 5th December 2015. Each list / sub-list marked (KG) is also an original standalone list in its own right.




Use our affiliate links


All of our Sport Hillwalking initiatives are 100% free for you to take part in. However, please note that we do have significant operational costs which we cover on a voluntary basis ourselves. The long-term development strategy for High Point Ireland, Sport Hillwalking and our growing family of independent Irish information websites will continue to be implemented over the coming years and for as long as it takes until our strategic goals are achieved. To help us speed things along, we'd be most grateful if you would consider using the affiliate links we have set up on The Ireland Travel Guide website to buy your outdoor gear and book accommodation / transport online in the future. Using these links will not affect the price you pay at checkout. However, each purchase / booking you make could send a small commission our way at no extra cost to you. Make no mistake, this is certainly not a get-rich-quick effort, but rather a very slow drip-feed of pennies and cents to partially cover the time, effort and money we continue to invest in our range of independent projects. Thank you for your support.

Disclaimer


If you are planning to visit any of the locations on the Irish High Point lists, please be aware that Highpointeering, rambling, hill-walking, hiking and mountaineering are risk activities. High Point Ireland and Donard Media (the website's publisher) accept no responsibility for any injury, loss or inconvenience sustained by anyone using this website. Personal safety is entirely the participant's own responsibility.
The inclusion of locations on the official list of Ireland's major geographical High Points is based entirely on each location's ability to meet the necessary criteria for at least one of the eight primary sub-lists contained on this website. It should not be assumed that access is permitted to any of the High Point locations on the list. High Point Ireland and Donard Media recommend that anyone planning to visit any of the High Point locations on the list should check for potential access restrictions and to request permission from the relevant landowner(s) in advance.
