Below are ‘Walker’s Guides’ for the Mourne Mountains and the North Coast & Glens of Antrim.

These guides are written by walkers for walkers. They are designed to give an informative insight into walking in two of Northern Ireland’s most renowned areas of outstanding natural beauty.

Included in the guides are detailed itineraries, images and route descriptions plus local information such as ‘best places to eat’ and ‘walker friendly’ accommodation options.

The real gem of walking routes in Northern Ireland is known as the Waymarked Ways; a series of accredited walking routes that pass through some of the most beautiful scenery in the country ranging in length from 20-40 miles. These walking routes with waymarked posts have excellent infrastructure in place and interpretation panels throughout the walks provide interesting information on local history, natural features and wildlife. Each trail has its own guide.

We are currently updating information regarding walking Waymarked Ways in Northern Ireland. A full list of Waymarked Way guides will be available in early 2010.
