Galtee Mountains

Inland mountain range in the Republic of Ireland, stretching from southwest County Tipperary into County Limerick. The highest summit is Galtymore (920 m/3,018 ft), to the south of which are the huge Mitchelstown caves. The mountains are composed of old red sandstone and quartzite.

North of the mountains is the fertile and wooded Glen of Aherlow. Once an important pass between counties Limerick and Tipperary, the glen was the scene of a number of battles.
