Ring Hill

About Ring Hill

Rising to 426 metres in the Slieve Felim Mountains of County Tipperary, this modest Tump offers a quiet ascent often surrounded by forestry. While less frequented than nearby peaks, the summit provides an earned perspective over the fertile Golden Vale and towards the distant, jagged profile of the Galty Mountains.

Did You Know?

• •The hill is part of the Slieve Felim range, an upland area dominated by Silurian sandstones and shales which often results in the soft, peat-covered terrain typical of the Tipperary midlands.
• •On a clear day, the summit offers a specific southern view across the Suir Valley toward the high peaks of Galtymore and the Knockmealdowns.
• •Its name is likely a reference to the presence of a ringfort or archaeological enclosure in the vicinity, a common historical feature in this part of Ireland, though many such sites are now hidden by commercial timber plantations.
• •The lack of a primary marked trail ensures that any ascent involves a degree of navigational self-reliance, making it a peaceful alternative to the more popular waymarked loops in the region.
