Located between the major tourist centres of Kilkenny and Cashel is the area known as the Slieveardagh Hills. Rising to 1,000 feet, these hills command a view of the surrounding areas of Tipperary and Kilkenny and at the highest points, many other counties can be seen.

Located in South-East Tipperary, the area is adjacent to the major urban centres of Thurles, Cashel, Clonmel and Kilkenny. It can be approached from the N8 at Urlingford or from the N76 via Ballingarry. The medieval, walled town of Fethard is nearby as is the Lory Meagher Brod Tullaroan Centre.
