Slieve Bloom Mountains , Co. Laois
Ideal for those who seek the tranquillity of an unspoiled landscape, the Slieve Bloom Mountains provide the perfect setting for a cycle, a drive or a walk. 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 outcrops, 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.
