Cliffs, glens, and granite peaks invite you into a world of deep presence and ancient story.
Northern Ireland is a place where landscapes feel alive — where basalt cliffs drop into wild seas, castle ruins cling to rocky outcrops, and green glens unfold into quiet forest trails. Walking here connects you with something timeless: the land, its legends, and the space to breathe.
From the windswept Causeway Coast to the high trails of the Mourne Mountains, this is walking country full of contrast — vast skies and narrow valleys, rugged headlands and wooded riverways. Every step brings myth, memory, and meaning.
Whether you’re planning a walking holiday or a scenic short break, Northern Ireland is ideal for self-guided travel — offering heritage, hospitality, and trails that linger in the memory.
Walk dramatic cliffs and wave-battered beaches on Northern Ireland’s most iconic coastal route. The Causeway Coast links sites like Giant’s Causeway, Dunluce Castle, and Carrick-a-Rede across one of Europe’s most scenic seaboards.
A granite wilderness of peaks, lakes, and ridges, the Mournes are perfect for slow adventures and hill walking. Trails climb to Slieve Donard, wind through Silent Valley, and offer wide views over sea and sky.
Nine glens carve into the hills of northeast Antrim — a landscape of forests, waterfalls, and winding roads. Base yourself in places like Cushendall or Glenariff and walk among Celtic myths and deep green stillness.
Peaceful trails follow lakeshores, islands, and waterways in this often-overlooked inland region. Explore castle ruins, canoe-friendly trails, and woodland routes around Enniskillen and Lower Lough Erne.
A gentler landscape of rolling fields, estuary views, and heritage towns. Coastal paths, birdlife, and ancient monastic sites offer slow, nature-rich walking days near Downpatrick and Strangford Lough.
