Fill your heart with Ireland

This is the alt tag

 

Let's go walking!

 

The island of Ireland may be small, but its landscape and terrain varies from valleys to peaks, beaches to bogs. In short, it's a walker’s paradise!

To get us all in the mood for an adventure, we've compiled a list of some of our favourite walks that you need to take when you come on over and visit...

📸 Thanks to Matt Dunn for the fab photo of Doonagore Castle!

 

Rounded Rectangle: Get your boots on! >

 

 

 

Did you know?

Pisa has its leaning tower, we have our leaning pub in Kildare!

Built in the 1800s, Roches Pub in Donadea is slowly sinking into the bog on which it was built.
