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.
