Slievenamon — Attraction in The Borough District of Clonmel

This is a fairly short but challenging hike as it's a pretty steep climb. Experienced hikers could climb it in 50mins or so. For those of us who get out of breath climbing it might take a little longer It's a very straightforward climb and can be done with runners but I would always recommend walking shoes or boots.

If you decide to do this walk, don't give up, take your time and savour the scenery. It's well worth it to get to the top of Slievenamon for the stunning views. And it's in the Premier...

My five year old made it up. Once at the top it is as if the whole world is a fish bowl and you are a disembodied head floating...

Free parking in the village or at the side of the road (across from the farmers yard theres a sign for selievenamon where I usually park)This is a handy hike but extremely steep hike aprox hour & 20 mins up and hour down depends on your fitness level.well worn path all the way up, keep right once you summit to reach the trig and mound of stones.
