Hikes & Walks In Tipperary

Perhaps the most picturesque place to go for a hike is in the Galtee Mountains where there are two linear hikes and eight circular treks on Slievenamuck at The Glen of Aherlow. The Glen of Aherlow contains a number of marked walking paths, and the Galtee Mountains are well recognised for being a walker's paradise. The Glen of Aherlow features a number of marked walking routes via woodland pathways and open moorland, see corrie lakes, experience mountain views, and take in the stunning surroundings. 

Looking for a Countryside Hike? The Slieve Felim Way is a 43-kilometre linear walking path that takes you straight through the beautiful countryside of Tipperary. A series of breathtaking vistas are available to hikers along the lovely trail from Toor to Silvermines from a variety of the surrounding mountains. The route, which takes two days to complete, is made up of calm roads, woodland trails, and field paths.

A long-distance Tipperary favourite is the 68km Lough Derg Way. This trail runs from Limerick City to Dromineer in County Tipperary. It usually takes three days to finish, but you may divide it up and work in smaller chunks at a time. As you trek, you'll get stunning vistas of the glittering Clare Hills beyond the calm waters of Lough Derg.

Take a walk through Tipperary's beautiful rural roads, riverbanks, farming land, and forests. These can all be found in the 5-kilometre Inch Loop walk. The historical hotbeds of Monroe, Inch, and Maghereagh will be traversed by walkers. Five church sites can be found along the road, the eldest of which dates to the sixth century. There is also a beautiful example of an Anglo-Norman Motte next to the ruins of Inch Church. There is a lot of wildlife around, especially along the Cromogue River and the Toberfelim woods. 

This 2.5-kilometre trek known as The Beech Trail is located among the 41-hectare Knocknacree Woods near Cashel. While hiking, hikers will come across a variety of species, including foxes, badgers, red squirrels, and sparrowhawks. Because of the profusion of bluebell and wild garlic blossoms in the spring, it is very lovely.
