Smear Viewing Bay

Situated along the North Longford Scenic and Heritage Walking and Cycling Trail, the newly developed Smear Viewing Bay offers a stunning vantage point over Lough Gowna and towards Arvagh, inviting visitors to pause and take in the breathtaking landscape. 

This project creates a meaningful point of interest along the trail, encouraging people to get out, get active, and explore the hidden gems of the region. The provision of a viewing bay at this location opens up the stunning views of the surrounding countryside and ensures that the walking and cycling trails are of interest to a wider audience. 

By adding variety and opportunities to engage with surroundings, Smear Viewing Bay supports the growing appeal of active holidays in North Longford. It complements the tourism infrastructure developed in recent years, helping to open up the area's rich cultural and natural assets to both the local community and a wider audience.
