Autumn · Laois

Slieve Bloom Mountains

A central Irish upland of forest trails, quiet valleys, waterfalls and long-distance walking across Laois and Offaly.

Why visit in autumn

A rewarding seasonal stop.

Woodland colour and flowing streams make autumn an attractive time for lower-level walks such as Glenbarrow.

What to look for

  • Glenbarrow Waterfall
  • Slieve Bloom Way
  • Kinnitty forest trails
  • Ridge viewpoints

Plan it well

Forestry activity can alter access. Check current trail notices and allow for mud, rain and limited daylight.
