National Waymarked Trails in Ireland


A network of forty-four national waymarked trails currently exist in Ireland, many of which would require more than one day of walking to complete. The longest of these is the 625 mile (1,000 km) Ulster Way which includes 16 quality sections along its circular route through 9 counties. All of the Irish national waymarked trails are listed below (including quality sections of the Ulster Way). Each listing below is a clickable link to the relevant information page on the Sport Ireland Outdoors or WalkNI website.

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...
