Mountains
While the Slieve Bloom Mountains are predominantly located in Co. Laois, the western edges of the range lie in the north of County Tipperary. These are amongst the oldest mountains in Europe, and while they were once also the highest at 3,700m, weathering has reduced them to just 527m - foothills in comparison to their former glory.
