On the back cover:  Whether you are a leisurely rambler or a serious hillwalker, there is a good chance you have visited or plan to visit at least one of Ireland's County High Points. While this special set of Irish hills and mountains continues to attract more visitors each year, they have never had a walking guidebook exclusively devoted to them. Ireland's County High Points - A Walking Guide explains everything you need to know as a walker before setting out on your County High Points quests. Each chapter contains a brief county profile and a detailed walking route, accompanied by easy-to-read maps created by the author. Kieron also provides a definitive guide to the Irish Four Peaks Challenge and other challenges based on Ireland's County High Points. Explore the highest points in Ireland's thirty-two counties, from Carrauntoohil in Kerry to Mullaghmeen in Westmeath, with this thoroughly researched guidebook.

Walking initiatives

We have developed the widest possible selection of meaningful initiatives to promote recreational walking in Ireland. These are delivered across The Ireland Walking Guide and High Point Ireland websites and range from monthly walking themes right through to the official All-Ireland Hillwalking Championships. We aim to deliver a consistent programme of initiatives every year on a recurring basis rather than a series of standalone one-off campaigns. Our "predictable" approach to participation initiatives means walkers always know what's coming up and have ample time to plan ahead. But why should you take part? Click here to find out...
