Why Ireland
From the mountains and glens to the loughs and canals, there’s a whole host of outdoor options to keep those feet moving.
Ireland can offer a great diversity of walks across a range of exciting themes, including coastal, island, mountain and hill, bog and moorlands, historical, archeological and even the wonderful world of mythology.
Everywhere you go, you'll be surrounded by the physical beauty of the island and will never find yourself too far from much-needed amenities.
Walkers can interact with local communities and savour the relaxed pace of life in rural Ireland. And if you're not sure where to start, there’s a plentiful selection of linear walks available across the countryside.
