Sléibhte Mhám Toirc (The
Maumturks/
Maamturks,
the Turks (fam.)) are a picturesque mountain range in
Connemara in the west of
Ireland. They are less well known than their more famous neighbours, the
Twelve Bens on the other side of the Inagh Valley (and of the
Western Way long distance path). They are not very big (max 702m) but a pleasant climb in fine weather, with superb views and no congestion. Dedicated
fell runners run from Maumeen in the south to
Leenaun in the north in a single day.
