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 entirely from the overlapping sections of Ireland's two highest-ranking original summit lists: the Irish Hewitts and the Irish Marilyns.  As such, the Slievemore list includes the 47% most-prominent portion of Irish Hewitts and the 22% highest portion of Irish Marilyns. To qualify as a Slievemore, a summit must feature on both of these lists. The Slievemore list currently comprises 99 Irish mountain summits.

The Slievemores is a derived list brought together by Kieron Gribbon. It was first published on The Ireland Walking Guide website on 25th July 2020. However, full credit and our deepest thanks are directed to E.D. 'Clem' Clements for the original painstaking research he carried out in the 1990s. Clem's work is by far the biggest contribution to Irish summit lists and has been the basis of many a derived list since. Any future amendments to the 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.

The Slievemore list was not originally intended as a standalone All-Ireland hillwalking challenge when it was first published. Its sole purpose at that time was to help identify local range-specific mountain challenges and 700s Challenges, where each challenge requires at least two Slievemore summits. We have since decided to promote the Slievemore list as an interesting year-long challenge for hillwalkers.

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...
