• What makes the concept of the Great Southern
Maria Kyte Waterford and Suir Valley Railway Mountain Park quite attractive is the range of diverse
mountain ranges each with their own unique identity
Feedback from Visitors to “ The Study Area “ and charm.
The sources for the visitor contacts that we spoke with for this
concept discussion were as follows: • Keeping the remoteness and the solitude of the area
will be important.
• Helen Morrissey - Glen of Aherlow (2 contacts )
• Olive O’Gorman - Glasha Farmhouse/Nire Valley • Makes sense to promote all the region’s mountains as
(2 Contacts) one destination.
• Michael Desmond - Walking Guide (2 Contacts)
• Consideration might be given to branding the area
• Ben Sullivan - Ballyhoura (2 Contacts) the Great Southern Mountain District, on the other
hand, the overall view amongst visitors was that park
• Pierce Flynn - Park Hotel ,Dungarvan ( 2 Contacts ) better describes what is being proposed.
• Will be a little more challenging to package Ballyhoura
with the other mountains as they are quite far west.
KEY FINDINGS FROM CONCEPT DISCUSSIONS
• The concept of a Great Southern Mountain Park is • Creating a destination with plenty of things to do is
largely welcomed, the reasons given in this regard considered quite an interesting idea as walkers like to do
include: other things particularly as they get older, and require
more rest and relaxation. Note two of the walkers we
- Will help to convert the one day walkers to 3 interviewed were undergoing hip replacements
and 4 day overnight walkers. At present visitors
may walk the Comeraghs for example, for one
day only, thinking they have done everything.
- Very difficult for one mountain region to
promote itself on a national and international
stage, however, if 4/5 mountain resorts come
together, the impact of the promotion and
offer will be more significant.
- Having plenty of walking/hiking and activity
options is always a good thing – and the Great
Southern Mountain Park therefore is well
positioned to offer a variety of things to do.
