Silent Valley Reservoir
|
The Silent Valley Reservoir and parkland sits near Kilkeel county down in a 200 acre site above a combination of mountain,  moorland and woodlands making it an ideal setting for flora and fauna. The Silent Valley lies in an area designated as an area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The Silen Valley is surrounded with breathtaking countryside, to the east lies Binnian, to the west Slievenagh Lough, to the north Doon and Ben Crom. The information centre and restaurant are housed in two old colonial style bungalows, the last remnants of the construction period. The information centre houses an exhibition of the history of the construction of the Dam. The restaurant has beautiful views over the park and is opened at 11.00am to 6.30pm each day in June, July and August and at weekends and bank holidays in April, May and September.
