Gougane Barra National Park Car Park

Hiking area

👍👍 Lovely place that I'm so in love with. But warning, traffic is really bad in gorgeous weather like when we went there as it takes us hours to get to the end of our destination from Cork city (more than 2hrs😔) . Loads of parked cars on the narrow roads, so incoming & outgoing cars were stucked alo...

Dunmore East Cliff Walk

Hiking area

👍👍 Very nice walk along the cliffs, great views and some lovely coves to come across. A few benches along the route so you can sit and admire the view. Can be muddy in parts so maybe wear hiking boots. Just a pity that some people think that their dogs don't need to be on a lead.

Ardmore Cliff Walk

Hiking area

👍👍 Drive up to the cliff hotel and park. It's a steady incline but doable for all ages. We even passed a lady with 2 sticks. The first stop is the ruins of an old church with what is said to be a well of healing waters. Continue on for uninterrupted views of the bay. Absolutely stunning. At the top you...

Waterford Greenway

Hiking area

👍👍 The Waterford Greenway is an excellent path for walking and cycling, perfect for families. I took a 10km route, which became a 20km round trip, and used TFI cycle hire for my journey. I found this option to be the most cost-effective, with a rental fee of only 10.50 euros for 5 hours. Although the T...

Glengarra Wood Forest Recreational Area

Hiking area

👍👍 The nicest walk in the woods one can have! There are so many possible routes you can take, you could be walking for hours. The river is so clean and there are plenty of places you can stop and soak your feet. Beautiful all year round. Plenty of flowers blooming at different times. If you walk furthe...

Crough Wood

Hiking area

👍👍 What a hidden gem. Right on our doorstep. We've driven past it so many times without realising what was down that little pathway. Hours go by like minutes. Well maintained and safe for all.

Ballyhoura mountain bike trails

Hiking area

👍👍 This place is amazing!I enjoyed every second there and can't wait to come back to try other trails. Is 5 euros the car park and you must have coins to play it.You can rent a bike and equipment from there. I had my 400 euro bike and I feelt that there is her limit, need good brakes and a bit of skill...

The Getaway

Campground

👍👍 Stayed for 2 nights here. The cabins we stayed in were extremely cozy and relaxing. The 6 man cabin was a little bit of a tight squeeze, but it was still very comfortable with 6 men. The cabin was warm, clean, and neat. The owner was very kind and accommodating, gave some great options for thing...

Cork Harbour Greenway (Harty’s Quay)

Pontoon walkway

👍 Nice little walk surrounded by nature yet only a few minutes from Main Street, Midleton. Bridge over the Owenacurra is a bit narrow.

Spike Island Tours

Tourist attraction

👍👍 We booked on the day and we're a bit concerned about the weather for our 12noon cruise which lasted for 3.5hrs. The weather turned and we had a lovely sunny afternoon and flat seas. Cost was €23pp . As the tide was out we took a longer route to get to Spike Island , the trip back was a lot shorter...

Curragh Wood

Hiking area

👍 This forest is definitely worth a visit. Its offers a variety of terrain and a most noteworthy are a number of hilltop architectural treasures dating back as far as the Iron and Bronze ages. Ringforts, fulachtaí fiadh, and souterrains are some of the ancient features that are scattered amongst the w...

Kilbarry Wood Forest Recreational Area

Hiking area

👍👍 Such a lovely, hidden gem! I loved that walk and the views you encounter behind the trees are spectacular! Very quiet and serene. The only downside is that most of the walk is up the hill. My boyfriend couldn't stop complaining about it 🤣 the dogs and I loved it though

Knockfierna Walking Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 Excellent walking trail with incredible panoramic views and historical sites along the trails. Looks around towards a big tower and cross where you can see Limerick and the Shannon River. Seems to be the highest point around. Parking for quite a few vehicles. Entrance road is one lane for about a ki...

May Park Trail

Hiking area

👍👍 EDIT - since writing this review the trail has been extended and is accessible via both Glenview Park and Cove Lane. Both just off the Dunmore Road. They've really done a great job so I decided to change my 4 star review to a well deserved 5 stars..... Nice walk through the woods and along the river...
