the slieve bloom way

Situated close to the geographical centre of Ireland, this circular route takes the walker through the wild and mysterious Slieve Bloom Mountains - an area unknown to many visitors and almost so to many Irish people. The walker is taken on a pleasurable trip past remarkable deep glens, rock out-crops, waterfalls, and lofty summits which have a strange brooding personality of their own. On some days it is possible to see the highest points of each of Ireland's four provinces.
