Enjoy the View from the Christ the King Statue: Glen of Aherlow, Co Tipperary

Between the Slievenamuck and the Galtee Mountains lies the glorious Glen of Aherlow. The scenic pull-off on Slievenamuck provides one of the most accessible spots to take in the beauty of the glen. The area includes a picnic area, forest walks, and a Christ the King statue that looks out over the valley.

The winding, forested R664 road to and from the lookout is a real treat and worth the wee detour for those traveling near Cashel, Cahir, Tipperary Town, or Mitchelstown.
