The summit of Slieve Bawn is crowned by a striking circular viewing platform beside the wind farm, offering panoramic views over Lough Ree, the River Shannon and the rolling countryside of Counties Roscommon and Longford.
Standing at 316 m (1,037 ft), it’s one of the finest viewpoints in the region, especially at sunrise or sunset when the surrounding lakelands glow in the changing light.
