The Ireland Walking Guide is the best and most user-friendly Irish walking and hiking information website.​ If you are planning a day walk, a weekend of walking or a holiday / vacation in Ireland, take a browse through our website first. This version of the website is currently still being developed and expanded. Feel free to browse what we have done so far. A small amount of our content is still only available on our old outgoing website where it is waiting to be transferred to this version.  Click here to access the outgoing version of the website.

Updates on developments will be posted on Twitter and Facebook.

We apologise for any inconvenience during this important transition.
