Facts and practical information

Garraun at 598 metres, is the 224th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale, however, while it is just short of the elevation threshold of 600-metres for other classifications, it does have the prominence to be a Marilyn. Garraun lies on an isolated massif near the mouth of Killary Harbour at the far north sector of the Twelve Bens/Garraun Complex Special Area of Conservation in the Connemara National Park in Galway. The southern slopes are a scenic backdrop to Kylemore Abbey and Kylemore Lough. ()
