Geography
The mountain lies just north of the high point of the Wicklow Gap in the centre of the Wicklow Mountains. Tonelagee is the third highest of the Wicklow Mountains and the 33rd highest peak in Ireland. From the summit the distinctive heart-shaped Lough Ouler is visible on the eastern side of the mountain. During a sunrise or on a clear day, towards the east one can see Snowdonia in Wales, at a distance of about 90 miles.
Access to the summit
Starting from the Wicklow Gap is possible to reach on foot the summit of the mountain. Another way to the summit starts from Glenmacnass Waterfall.
