Gearhane: Looks narrower from the north but offers a surprise!

Summit Comment Bunsen7 2 days ago
Approaching Gearhane from the south you can see how it fans out from the top to the east and west. I suppose there is a resemblance to a tooth or fang - which may have inspired the name. For ...

Summit Comment Bunsen7 4 days ago
If you park at Q47044 06865 and follow the track up over Gearhane to Brandon Peak, returning the same way, you will only expend between 2.5 and 3 hours of your time. Quite a small investment for s...

6km NW of Lanesborough. The name has nothing to do with bán, 'white'. Bána is the modern form of Badbgna, name of a Fir Bolg chieftain of this area. In clear conditions it is possible to see as far as Crough Patrick. There is also a fine view of the many islands on Lough Ree. Has been called Aghalard.   Slieve Bawn is the highest hill in the North West Midlands area and the 1254th highest in Ireland. Slieve Bawn is the most easterly in the North West Midlands area. Slieve Bawn is the second highest point in county Roscommon.

Picture: Which way?		  
Nice recreation area.
by TommyV  2 Nov 2018
There are a number of points to access this hill, I went from M96291 73210 A. The hill is a windfram and forestry but it has also been cleverly made into a recreation area that has good paths, a viewing platform at the summit and is well sign posted. As I was on the way home after a stag in Carrick-On-Shannon I just took in the summit but it's possible to continue on a looped walk of the hill to see other sights such as a mass rock, church ruins and a holy cross.
