May Parkland Walk

As Spring draws to a close, parklands all over Ireland have completed their post-Winter transformation and are getting ready for Summer. With the leaves back on the trees and plenty of flowers in bloom, May is an ideal time to visit public parks, gardens and estates. Keep an eye out too for bluebell displays in woodland areas.

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...
