 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil

 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi

 ing hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise from the central plains o
 f Ireland\, forming a natural link between the counties of Laois and of Of
 faly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, gloriously multi-coloured and o
 ne of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted around the mountains are quain
 t little villages\, and to visit one is like stepping back in time to an e
 ra when life moved at a slower pace. These are the places where people wil
 l take the time to talk to you\, will listen to your stories and enjoy tel
 ling you theirs. According to the locals the Slieve Bloom have everything\
 , except the sea!</p>\n<p> Only an hour and a bit from Dublin and Limerick
  and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom are easily accessible
  from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as being a wonderful desti
 nation in their own right\, their central location makes the area an ideal
  base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts of Ireland.</p>\n<
 p>The Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\, are the old
 est mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3\,700m. Weat
 hering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see the high poi
 nts of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.</p>\n</div>\n</div></div></d
