Fabulous views from the top of Knock Eyon. A short sharp little hill with incredible views for little effort. The whole of Westmeath, Offaly (could def see Edenderry), Wicklow mountains, and not sure how far in the other direction. Great place to see the distinctive Crag and Tails formation of Lough Derryvaragh, formed by tougher chert resisting the glacier that once occupied the Lough.

The instructions from Fergalh are still to the good. It is recommended to seek permission to visit this hill. The new house is now built. There is just about space to park here. Please be sensitive to a number of the residents who have erected no parking signs Respect these and know that it may not be possible to park in the immediate area. Plenty of livestock around the top of the lane but nothing on the hill. Took me 10 mins from car to the top so just a short hop if you're in the area. Well worth it for the views.
