Geocache Description:

The Slieve Felim region is an area between Limerick City, Nenagh, Thurles, and Tipperary – and so called because it is dominated by the Slieve Felim Mountains. It is a place of quiet beauty and natural rural charm.


 

Start from the village of Murroe on the R506 between Limerick City and Cappamore. With the church on your left take the road to the left (following the signs for Thomond Scout Centre and not those for Glenstal Abbey). Follow this road for approximately 2km and turn left following the signs for the Slieve Felim Way. After 5km you reach the trailhead located at a barrier entrance to Glenstal Woods.

At the enterance of the wood there is a sign which gives further detail of the looped walk, but you do not have to walk too far to obtain this cache. as it has been placed more as an introduction to this area.  This walk gives fine views into north Co Limerick and South Tipperary and of Keeper Hill to the north and is part of the Slieve Felim Way - a long distance walking route which stretches almost 36km from Murroe in County Limerick to Silvermines Village in County Tipperary. The woodland in Summer is marked by a magnificent display of rhododendron bushes.  It's an easy gentle climb to start with, which drops down and back up on a well maintained path which is fine for the younger Geocachers, but not for buggies as it consists of stone chippings. The cache itself is a nacro (size between a nano and micro) and designed to blend into the natural surroundings. Please be careful with this one and place as found, only containing a small log book.
