Slieve Bloom Mountains
The Slieve Bloom mountains are breathtaking. They offer mysterious glens, rivers, waterfalls, historic sites, folklore, villages, pubs and festivals. The mountains rise gently in a heathery wave from the limestone plains that characterise the centre of Ireland. The summit plateau is dominated by blanket bog and though of modest height, it provides for some fabulous views. On a clear day, it is possible to see the highest points of each of Irelands provinces. Something different in the Slieve Bloom Mountains is The Half Door Set Dancing Club. The Slieve Bloom Mountains are one of Laois's finest tourism attractions.
