About

Although it stands just 596ft above sea level, the summit of the Hill of Uisneach commands extensive panoramic views over Ireland’s central plain. On a clear day, no less than twenty counties are visible on the horizon. In every direction hills and mountains animate a vista where green melts into blue, hinting at seas and complete encirclement.
