Benwiskin known as "The Breaking Wave" due to its unique profile as seen from the townland of Ballintrillick.It is part of the Dartry mountain range and lies just north of Benbulben and the views from the summit are both stunning and breathtaking.
The hike is highly recommended for views of the Gleniff Horsehoe valley, Truskmore and Tievebaun. To the west the panorama includes Mullaghmore, Classiebawn castle, Streedagh strand and Slieve League,which are rated among the highest maritine cliffs in Europe
