Tully Mountain (Irish: Cnoc Leitreach) is a large hill north-west of Letterfrack in County Galway, Ireland.
The 356-metre (1,168 ft) high hill is visually striking, as it stands in a prominent position on the Renvyle Peninsula between Ballinakill harbour (South), Inishbofin (West) and the Crump Island (north). The summit hosts a small cairn and offers a panoramic view of the Twelve Bens, the north Connemara and Mayo coastlines, Inishbofin and other islands.
Tully Mountain, as well as Tully Lough, takes its name from Tully village, located on the north-eastern side of the mountain. The name Tully Mountain is rarely used locally, with Letter Hill being the more familiar name.
The walk which leads to the summit does not require any special hiking ability.
The area around Tully Mountain is rich in pre-historic remains like a court tomb and a stone alignment between the mountain itself and Tully Lough.
Tully Lough and the NE slopes of the mountain have been designated as a candidate Special Area of Conservation under the EU Habitats Directive.
