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 remarkably 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.
The route
takes in Glenbarrow, Monicknew, Glendine East, Forelacka, Glenkeen and
Glenbarrow and is 48 miles long. The longest stage is that between Forelacks to
Glenkeen, being 12 miles in length and the highest peak being Glendine Gap
standing at 1510 ft.
"I just wanted to let you know our Ireland trip was fabulous!! Thank you so much! Your recommendation to Adare Manor was a top tip! I went to Ashford Castle as well, it was very very nice to, but my preference is still Adare Manor. I just wish that I had booked 2 nights there instead of just one. The B&Bs were TOP too! Especially the one in Kilkieren up in Galway. Barbara was lovely and couldn't have done more to make our stay memorable. The Hillside House is definately one you can recommend to anyone!" -- Silke
