Open viewpoint on the south side of Knocknarea, where the mountain rises like a broad green dome above Sligo Bay. From the car park, you can clearly see the steep flank and the large stone cairn on the summit, the tomb traditionally attributed to Queen Maeve. A clear landmark along the route between Strandhill and Sligo.
