About Seefin [Sui Finn]

Rising above the village of Kilbrien, this 725-metre Hewitt is the highest peak in the Monavullagh Mountains. Its broad, often peat-haggled summit offers a wilder, quieter alternative to the nearby Comeraghs, with expansive views reaching across to the Galtees and south towards the Waterford coastline and Dungarvan Bay.

Did You Know?

  • •The name derives from the Irish Suí Finn, meaning 'Finn’s Seat,' referring to the mythological hunter-warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill, who was said to use the summit as a resting place while his hounds hunted in the valleys below.
  • •Though often overshadowed by the sheer cliffs of the neighbouring Comeraghs, Seefin serves as the high point of the Monavullagh range and provides a rugged, less-trodden approach from the Nier Valley side.
  • •On a clear day, the summit offers a commanding view across the Suir Valley to the conical profile of Slievenamon and the distant peaks of the Blackstairs on the Carlow-Wexford border.
  • •As a Hewitt standing at over 700 metres, it is one of the highest summits in County Waterford, though the broadness of the plateau means you may spend as much time navigating peat hags as you will admiring the scenery.
