Top walks in Ireland

breadmonkey · 2009-02-17 15:29:16

Hi all, I did a few searches but anything I tried just gave me back about 30 threads of varying relevance. Just coming home from a long trip and got into hiking a fair bit along the way. I think I may have spoiled myself rotten though as I did most of it in New Zealand and Nepal. So I'm just wondering what the best walks…

Hi all,

I did a few searches but anything I tried just gave me back about 30 threads of varying relevance.

Just coming home from a long trip and got into hiking a fair bit along the way. I think I may have spoiled myself rotten though as I did most of it in New Zealand and Nepal. So I'm just wondering what the best walks are back home? I'd be interested in one day and multi day hikes. I don't have a massive amount of experience tbh but am open to trying "difficult" walks.

Any suggestions?

Some links on that thread to walks in Iveragh, Beara and Dingle peninsulas. If you've been in Nepal and NZ, some of the stuff may be tame, although still lovely, but you can always nip up the Reeks or Mt. Brandon for something a little more testing.

Couple of challenging ones from the top of my head, I'm sure someone on here has done them...

One I plan to do over the summer is The Mourne Wall Walk:

There is also the Seven Sevens in the Mournes which would also offer quite a challenge:

my favourite is the Glencoaghan horseshoe, the Galway side of cliften, you do 6 of the 12 ben moutains in Connemara.
Tough, long walk, lots of tricky decents, climbs, can be dangerous in bad weather, but fantastic on a good day
