    Stunning views from here across the Silent Valley and the Mourne Mountains. Ben Crom is a gravity dam, meaning it is made of concrete and designed so that the dam's own weight stabilises it against the force of the water. The dam was completed in 1957

      The route takes you along the Silent Valley Reservoir on a well-developed, asphalt road that is also suitable for less experienced drivers. However, it can be slippery in wet weather, so caution is advised. A special highlight is the impressive dam wall of the Ben Crom Reservoir, which blends harmoniously into the surrounding mountain landscape. Please note, however, that access to the park is subject to a fee.
