The Munster Vales is a region of Ireland in which visitors encounter an exhilarating blend of adventure and slowness. Five mountain ranges – the Galtees, the Comeraghs, the Ballyhouras, the Knockmealdowns and the Nagles – across four counties, the Munster Vales reach from the mid-west of Ireland southwards to the sea. The Munster Vales region goes through the magnificent counties of Tipperary, Waterford, Cork and Limerick taking in the patchwork of towns and villages, wilderness and farmland that lies around them.
