DESCRIPTION:The gentle rolling hills of the The Slieve Bloom Mountains rise
from the central plains of Ireland\, forming a natural link between the c
ounties of Laois and of Offaly. The area is picturesque\, peaceful\, glori
ously multi-coloured and one of the least explored in Ireland. Dotted arou
nd the mountains are quaint little villages\, and to visit one is like ste
pping back in time to an era when life moved at a slower pace. These are t
he places where people will take the time to talk to you\, will listen to
your stories and enjoy telling you theirs. According to the locals the Sli
eve Bloom have everything\, except the sea!\n Only an hour and a bit from
Dublin and Limerick and two hours from Cork and Galway the Slieve Bloom ar
e easily accessible from all corners of Ireland. However\, as well as bein
g a wonderful destination in their own right\, their central location make
s the area an ideal base for visitors wishing to make trips to other parts
of Ireland.\nThe Slieve Bloom\, along with the Massif Central in France\,
are the oldest mountains in Europe\; they were once also the highest at 3
\,700m. Weathering has reduced them to 527m. On a clear day\, one can see
the high points of the four ancient provinces of Ireland.\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n
\n\nWalking \n\n Walk in the Slieve Bloom and discover a wonderful variety
of landscapes - blanket bogs\, forestry paths\, wooded valleys\, mountain
streams and waterfalls\, and old settlement ruins. We have a choice of 16
