Tonelagee (Irish: Tóin le Gaoith, meaning "back-side to the wind") is a mountain with a height of 817 m (2,680 ft) in County Wicklow, Republic of Ireland.
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.[1] From the summit the distinctive heart-shaped Lough Ouler is visible on the eastern side of the mountain. During a sunset or on a clear day, towards the east one can see Snowdonia in Wales, at a distance of about 90 miles.[2]
