Tipperary Ireland

North of the Comcraghs, across the valley of the Suir, in Tipperary, the broad cone of Slievenaman (2295 ft.) rises solitary and dominates the country for many miles. Not many miles west of the Comcraghs, the Knock- mealdown Mountains form a bold east-and-wcst ridge, dropping into the Suir valley on the north and the valley of the Blackwater on the south. They present a bold row of peaks of over 2000 ft., the highest point being 2609 ft. A picturesque road climbs across the centre of the range, ascending to over 1100 ft.
