The Slievemores

Summits in Ireland with at least 2,000 feet elevation & 150m prominence

A Slievemore is any mountain summit in Ireland over 2,000 feet above sea level with a prominence of at least 150 metres. The list is derived from the overlapping sections of three original third-party summit lists. They are the Dillons, the Irish Hewitts and the Irish Marilyns. To qualify as a Slievemore, a summit must feature on all three of these lists. The Slievemore list currently comprises 99 Irish mountain summits.

The Slievemores is a derived list created and compiled by The Ireland Walking Guide. It was first published on this website on 25th July 2020. However, full credit and our deepest thanks are directed to Paddy Dillon and E.D. 'Clem' Clements for the original painstaking research they carried out in the 1990s. Their combined work is the biggest contribution to Irish summit lists in recent years and has been the basis of many a derived list since. Any future amendments to the Dillon, Irish Hewitt and Irish Marilyn lists will be reflected accordingly in the Slievemore list. The word "Slievemore" translates as "big mountain" and we feel this is an appropriate list title for Ireland's highest and most prominent mountain summits. Several Irish mountains and hills are called Slievemore, including the one on Achill Island whose 671m high summit features on this list.

Mountain and hill summits 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.

Walking initiatives

We have developed the widest possible selection of meaningful initiatives to promote recreational walking in Ireland. These are delivered across The Ireland Walking Guide and High Point Ireland websites and range from monthly walking themes right through to the official All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships. We aim to deliver a consistent programme of initiatives every year on a recurring basis rather than a series of standalone one-off campaigns. Our "predictable" approach to participation initiatives means walkers always know what's coming up and have ample time to plan ahead. But why should you take part? Click here to find out...
