Sperrin Mountains

Sperrin Mountains

Irish  Sliabh Speirín 

      mountain range disposed along an arc about 20 miles (32 km) southeast of Londonderry city, Northern Ireland. The highest peaks—Sawel, Mullaclogher, and Mullaghaneany—all exceed 2,000 feet (608 m) and are capped with crystalline limestone. The Sperrins were extensively glaciated and bear evidence of both erosion and deposition. They are partly penetrated by glaciated glens and are mainly covered in blanket bog and heather.
