Description
One vast environment park is how best to describe the Slieve Bloom Mountains with seventeen major valleys, numerous amenity areas and hundreds of kilometres of accessible forest tracks. These gentle rolling hills now form the biggest forestry cover in Ireland. And hills they really are rather than mountains, as the highest point, Ard Eirinn, rises just a little over 529m (1700 ft). All of the glens, walks and viewing points are easy to discover from the large scale Slieve Bloom map, available throughout the area. For the more energetic, a sign-posted Slieve Bloom Way walking route (31mls/50kms) circles the mountain range. STAGE 1: Glenbarrow to Monicknew about 12km (7.5miles) takes about 3.5 hours. STAGE 2: Monicknew to Glendine East about 13km (8 miles) takes almost 4.5 hours. STAGE 3: Glendine East to Forelacka about 17km (10.5miles) takes almost 5.5hours. STAGE 4: Forelacka to Glenkeen about 20km (12 miles) take 6 hours. STAGE 5: Glenkeen to Glenbarrow about 16km (10 miles) takes about 4.5 hours.
Opening Hours
Tuesday to Friday 11 am to 4.30pm. June to September.
