Roscommon is an inland county where the main attraction is the
beauty of island-dotted lakes. Much of the county is level plain,
bogland and river meadow - broken with low hills and many lakes.
The highest point (1,385 feet) is on the County Leitrim border in
the north; also prominent are the Curlew Hills (867 feet) in the
north-west and the Slievebawn hills (864 feet in the east. The
county’s eastern boundary is formed by the River Shannon and its
lakes.
