Waterford's mountains from IRELAND writes:

Beware that fog and cloud can hang round the plateaux of mountain when neighbouring mountains are clear.Summit is covered by bog,ideal time to tackle summit is during a good freeze up as bog becomes solid and makes faster travel underfoot.Good dry spell during Summer also great time to explore.Summit surrounded by cliffs and coums.Great views to be had especially when air mass originates in north views can extend as far as Wicklow mountains to north east.Notable views of Waterford city suspension bridge,Waterford coast,Hook lighthouse, Saltee islands, Sievenamon,Galtee mountains, Knockmealdown mountains,Slieve Bloom and Blackstairs mountains, Clonmel, Dungarvan, Carrick on Suir,Waterford city.Much coniferous forest surrounding foothills also up to 2000 feet in places especially on northern slopes of Knockanaffrin Ridge.
