There are 125 distinctly separate mountain and hill ranges in Ireland. The perimeters and boundaries of these upland areas were defined by Kieron Gribbon in 2015 while compiling the Irish Range High Points list. We have created an alphabetical list of all the mountain / hill ranges in Ireland and plotted them on a handy interactive map below to help you find Irish upland areas to explore.

Upland areas offer great walking opportunities all year round, however we particularly recommend exploring them during months when the days are longest. For this reason, we promote upland walking as our monthly theme for June.
