slievefelim mountains

when seen from afar the gently sloping Slievefelims often seem to be bathed in a pearly light. They are a nice range of hills, and they rise just east of Glenstal Abbey , reaching their maximum height in Cullaun peak (465 m) . They are part of a large mountain area in north east Limerick and north Tipperary which includes the Silvermines , Keeper Hill and Mauherslieve Mountain. There is a pleasant drive from Newport to Rear Cross (13km) , the road running beside the Clare River at the bottom of the glen which divides the Slievefelim range from Keeper Hill.
