The Munster High Points
Major Geographical High Points in the province of Munster
A Munster High Point is any of the 62 locations in the province of Munster which feature on the overall official list of Ireland's Major Geographical High Points. This provincial list of Munster High Points compiled by Kieron Gribbon was first published on 12th October 2017 on the High Point Ireland website.
Along with the Connacht, Leinster and Ulster sub-lists, it comprises the first set of regional hill lists ever to be published for Ireland. Each is a secondary sub-list of the official list of Ireland's Major Geographical High Points and a standalone hillwalking challenge in its own right.
High Points offer great walking opportunities all year round, however we particularly recommend visiting them during months when the days are longest. For this reason, we promote upland walking as our monthly theme for June.
