Off the Beaten Path – Hiking Ireland

The Emerald Isle can’t help but charm even the most jaded traveler with its wild, windswept landscapes, historic stone castles, quaint fishing villages, quirky local lore and immensely friendly people. Hiking its jagged peaks is a great way to gain an appreciation for the landscape and learn the history of this magical land, while earning an evening of pints down at the local pub. MTS designed this itinerary to mix both Ireland’s classic sites with its less-traveled hiking and pilgrimage routes, peppered with plenty of entertaining interactions with the locals.

Experience the history and scenery of the Emerald Isle, beginning in vibrant Dublin. We hike from the peaks of the Wicklow Mountains to the iconic Cliffs of Moher, with interludes at medieval castles and monasteries. Share good conversation and cold Irish beer in local pubs along the way. After we experience the rugged grandeur of the Beara Peninsula in County Cork, the natural wonders of Killarney National Park await. Walk through old oak forests, past idyllic Irish farmsteads and into remote mountain valleys.

Try to hike this inspiring walking adventure that takes you from Ireland’s vibrant capital city, Dublin, to some of the most scenic settings on the west coast. Journeying from the windswept MacGillycuddy's Reeks of Kerry, along the Pilgrim’s Path of Mount Brandon to the wild western shores of the Atlantic and the Aran Islands, and over the mountainous wildernesses of Connemara, you’ll get an insider’s look at the very best of Ireland. Along the way, you’ll see local abbeys, haunted castles and crumbling cottages, each with their own fascinating legends. At night, warm Irish hospitality and toe-tapping live music awaits as you join in the revelry at local pubs.

Explore coastal footpaths and castle ruins on your way to the Dingle Peninsula. When you arrive, revel in music and merriment at this epicenter of Gaelic culture. Our adventure concludes in Ennis, a market town steeped in medieval heritage and renowned for its traditional music scene and festive atmosphere. Lovers of adventure, history and vibrant culture will find Ireland’s spirited ambience and rich landscapes are not to be missed.
