Slieve Bawn Summit
Highlight • Summit
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.

Doughill Forest Picnic Area
Highlight • Rest Area
These picnic benches in Doughill Forest are set in a quiet clearing that offers clear views out toward the nearby Sliabh Bawn Wind Farm.
Bring a warm layer and linger a while—the open aspect means it can be breezy, but the views are worth it.
