Silvermines
This village, located just 9km (5.5ml) from the town of Nenagh, is in the heart of attractive mountain scenery with the Silvermines/Keeper Hill mountains all around.
It’s also the focal point for a major mining heritage project currently being undertaken, as the area was a significant industrial mining district for up to 700 years until a short time ago.
There’s much to see and do in the area. A number of organised walks and cycles go through the village, including the Slieve Felim Way walk, the Slates and Stars and Silvermines Cycle. Equestrian sports are also well catered for, with Nenagh Equestrian Centre lying at the foot of the Silvermines Mountains.
