Knockree is notable for the way it stands alone in the middle of the valley, overlooked by taller hills. If it weren't forested, there would be remarkable views from the summit. As it is, there are only intermittent views on the way up.

The first bench is starting to fall apart but someone has put a log under it to provide support. There are no longer any views from this point due to tree growth. The second bench O18369 15751 E still offers views across towards Maulin, the Tonduffs and Kippure.

The last time I was here was in 2017, and at that time the path from the clearing to the summit had become very overgrown. Today, however, it was mostly clear and very manageable.

The summit itself is in a small clearing in the forest and is marked by a small granite outcrop. Linkback: https://mountainviews.ie/summit/1100/comment/24179/
