Walking is a great way to discover Ireland. And Ireland’s dramatic landscape and temperate climate make it an ideal country for walking. Even for little feet. Rugged coast, rolling hills, woodlands, moorlands, loughs (lakes) and canals. Hill walks, forest walks, single day loops, inn-to-inn hikes, long distance treks and urban walks. Self-guided hikes, guided walking tours and walking festivals. And if you are traveling with children aged 7 and up, develop a theme - history, archaeology or mythology - and turn your outdoor adventure into an educational trip.
