Slieve Bloom

Slieve Bloom

Old red sandstone and quartzite mountain range of the Republic of Ireland, extending from north County Tipperary through County Laois to southwest Offlay. Rising dramatically from low-lying boggy plains, its gently rounded slopes reach 498 m/1,734 ft at Arderin, the highest peak. The range is dotted with conifer plantations and is a centre for walking; the Slieve Bloom Way, a long-distance footpath, circles the peaks for 50 km/31 mi. An interpretive centre is located at Birr in County Offlay. The mountains are reputedly named after a Celtic warrior who took refuge in their hills.
