July 6, 2021 Sheron Bogner

Woven with wild greenery and Gaelic legends, the Emerald Isle is one of Europe’s most prized jewels. Rugged Atlantic beaches and mystery-shrouded sites rub shoulders with the cosmopolitan cities of Belfast and Dublin, where literary history and warm Irish hospitality are always in abundance.

Gorgeous little walks and pic nic spot perfect for a stop off while exploring Dingle peninsula. Long walk up the mountain and boarded walk around the lake. Suitable for kids and no need for walking boots. Runners (and a waterproof) will do the trick nicely!

Well worth a visit. Beautiful walk with the added bonus of well documented archaeological features. Short 5km walk is perfect for a family with young children as there are a couple of benches to rest on or picnic at along the way.

Reviewed By 727kathyw - Ballymoney, United Kingdom

Lovely walks through the woods in Stranorlar along the river looking at the fairy doors. There's a few different walks to follow with wide paths & maps at various locations & different starting points with small free car parks. You can also cross the footbridge at the end into Ballybofey by Jackson's Hotel & walk past shops, then back over the road bridge into Stranorlar. There's also a few narrower paths on the other side of the road away from the river, through thicker woods, but is a bit steeper.

Glengariff Woods

Reviewed By morganoreilly72 - Dublin, Ireland

Beautiful and peaceful nature reserve. There is 4 or 5 different walks, all signposted ranging from gentle 2k one upwards to more difficult and longer walks. 2 minute drive outside the town. A must visit if you like nature/walking.
