On a clear day, the views from The Hill of O'Neill are impressive.nI was genuinely surprised by how many Northern Ireland landmarks I could see, for example, Lough Neagh, Slemish Moutain/ Antrim Plateau, the Belfast Hills and the Mourne Mountains.nI've visited Dungannon on many occasions but  have never ventured up here before and was impressed by how well designed the site is.nThe site is suitable for all mobility levels.nThere were plenty of picnic benches too and interesting information boards were dotted around the site.nI visited early evening in April and the vehicular access gates were closed, but a pedestrian gate was open.nThe house was closed due the lateness of my visit.nI would happily visit here again and would recommend it as a place to visit if ever in Dungannon.

It's a place where history comes alive, where breathtaking views inspire, and where a walk through time leaves an indelible mark on your soul.nnHill of the O'Neil in Dungannon is a must-visit spot that left me in awe. Whether you're a history buff or simply looking for a peaceful escape, Hill of the O'Neil is a gem that won't disappoint.

I was horrified by the unnecessary amount of concrete in this place! So many unnecessary ramps and catwalks. The pathways are fine for wheelchairs and buggys! There's no need for so much structure! And so many handrails, and lights and warnings.nI don't know what's so dangerous about that place that the government needs to ruin the place to hold the hand of the tourists that visit...nI wish I had more pictures to show how ridiculous that was!

Excellent exhibition telling the story of the O'Neill family and the flight of the Earls in the early 17th century

Great to see this place, brought up near dungannon and this was the first time I was at the top of the hill. Go on a clear day for the spectacular views.
