Fill your heart with the great outdoors
Epic clifftop walks, cycles through showstopping scenery and the chance to enjoy nature in great company


There’s nothing quite like getting out in nature in Ireland. A slow, thoughtful journey on foot or by bike allows you to properly appreciate the rugged drama and wild beauty of the landscape. But more than that, walking and cycling here is a great way to connect with people and traditions. Because you never know who you’ll meet on the way!
To get you started, we’ve got all you need to know about walking and cycling routes. Escape from it all on the Wild Atlantic Way, hike through history in Ireland’s Ancient East, get off the beaten track in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands or weave along the majestic paths of the Causeway Coastal Route.
If you’re looking for the perfect activity break, you’ve come to the right place.
