Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We made it to the top on 2 November 2023. A Family with a seven year old. Weather forecasts are not applicable to west Connemara. Watch rainfall radars and local weather observations or just look at where any bad weather is coming from.
A great sense of achievement.

The area here is beautiful, well worth the visit. There is a visitor centre, clean toilets, and cafe on site. The trail is well laid out and easy to follow. It gets very windy on top of diamond hill.

We had so much fun claimbing this hill. It is hard for sure (be carefull the wind can be strong on the top and some parts are steep) but the trip worth it. On the top you have a full 365° view over the see, valleys and lakes. Count 3 1/2 hours for the full tour. At the end enjoy a good coffee and pastries and the visitor center. A real piece of wild Connemara!

A lovely way to spend a few hours. My boys and I enjoyed our time doing this. The views at the top are super. Path was well set out and nothing too difficult although a decent level of fitness is required.

Great hike, spectacular view all the way going up, I did the upper diamond hill hike (red) and it is really worth it. 2 hours 20 there and back at a decent pace. Not particularly difficult or technical. Blessed with the sun shining and blue sky

This was a very fun hike with gorgeous views for much of the way up and down. It looks quite intimidating at the beginning but is actually more reasonable and not as long as it looks. It took us about 2.5-3 hours total to hike it. As a moderately experienced hiker, I'd call it a moderately challenging hike. Even in cloudy rainy weather, it was beautiful and one of the highlights of our trip through Connemara!

Walked up Diamond Hill yesterday. Outstanding views in every direction. Pathways are well maintained and have greatly improved over the years. Great work done by Stan and PJ/ - not a stone out of place -thanks
Generally safe but signs recommend not doing the final leg when weather is bad

We completed croagh Patrick with no problems the day prior to hiking this, so I figured I would have no problems with this shorter hill. I would say it was just as challenging. Much windier, narrow rock climbing trails. And every single darn rock was slippery because it was raining. Wish the summit had some type of marker for pictures. Wear good shoes. We both almost fell about 10 times each going down from the rocks being so slippery from the rain.

Went with my dad first week of January when we got a break in the weather and couldn’t be more pleased.
Despite the wind, the walk was class, and met a couple of the caretakers, PJ and Sean up on the Red Loop. Lovely guys, really informative, and they take great care of the path, keeping it accessible and safe, even in hazardous conditions.
Good planets are hard to find. Take care of it.

Spent a few hours walking up to the top of Diamond Hill. Takes about 3 hours if you include the stop at the top to enjoy the amazing views of the surrounding countryside. The wooden pathways are to make sure you don't lose a boot in the boggy bits so be sure to stay on them. Been there many times and it never gets old.
