Slieve Felim S Top

About Slieve Felim S Top

Tucked away in the Slieve Felim mountains of County Tipperary, this 407-metre sub-peak offers a quieter alternative to the range's higher summits. The terrain typically consists of forestry tracks and rough upland grazing, providing a modest but rewarding vantage point over the lush, rolling farmland of the Golden Vale to the south.

Did You Know?

• •The name Slieve Felim derives from the Irish Sliabh Feilim, meaning 'Felim’s Mountain'. Felim is an ancient Irish personal name, though the identity of the specific individual associated with these hills has been lost to time.
• •This southern top is a minor neighbour to the more prominent 531-metre Slieve Felim summit and the bulky profile of Mauherslieve, also known as Mother Mountain, to the northeast.
• •From this elevation, the southern horizon is often dominated by the Galtee Mountains, with the sharp profile of Galtymore visible across the Suir Valley on a clear day.
• •While classified as a Tump, its modest height and location within working forestry ensure you are far more likely to encounter a stray sheep than a crowd of peak-baggers.
