Belmore Mountain (from Irish Sliabh Bhéal Mór [1], meaning 'big mouth mountain') is a hill in the townland of Gortgall, western County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. With a summit roughly 398 metres (1,306 ft) above sea level,[2] it is the second highest point in Fermanagh, the highest being at Cuilcagh on the Northern Ireland–Republic of Ireland border in the south of the county. The historian John O Donovan (1834) states that the indigenous population called the mountain Bel Mor Muintir Pheodachain .[3]
Belmore Mountain dominates the skyline in the nearby county town of Enniskillen and gives its name to Belmore Street.
