A Great Destination for Adventure Travel

Mountains in Ireland come in many shapes and sizes, but they all come beautifully. The Mourne Mountains boast a host of heavenly hikes.

The Wicklow and Kerry Ways traverse stunning mountainscapes with plenty of calmer stretches. Walks and hikes in these verdant surroundings are dealt a dash of color, thanks to the area's mythical heritage.

For every step you take, a fairy, a warrior, a banshee, or a ghost has taken it before you. Keep it quirky with bog walks in the likes of Tipperary, Laois, Offaly, and Connemara.

They are prettily planned with wooden walkways to keep you away from the stickiest terrain. For something a little less muddy, pick a canal and walk its banks under cover of leafy canopies.
