There is something extra special about walking amid Ireland’s green spaces when there’s a dusting of snow or a glint of frost on the ground. A bracing ramble on your mind? These places are where you should go. 1. Cliffs of Moher Walking in one of the most outstanding coastal landscapes in Ireland is like being on the edge between earth and sky. The walk may be challenging in winter, but it will worth it for the mesmerising views. 2. Waterford Greenway Carve an unforgettable path through the stunning landscapes and historical sites of Ireland’s Ancient East, the longest off-road walking (and cycling) experience in the country. At 46km you’ll be well warmed up if you take it all in. 3. The Dark Hedges Pick a crisp winter morning or an evening winter sunset and you can have a quiet stroll and the perfect photo of this celebrated Game of Thrones film location in County Antrim. The walk is not long, but the location is totally memorable. 4. Glenveagh National Park A remote and hauntingly attractive wilderness of rugged mountains, deep glens and pristine lakes, this is a walker’s paradise. The park is home to a castle, beautiful grounds and the highest peak in County Donegal, Mount Errigal. 5. Botanic Gardens For a delightful walk without leaving Belfast, start from any of the seven entrances into this oasis of calm in the city centre. A great addition to an itinerary if you're visiting Titanic Town in winter. 6. Inchydoney Strand Great beach walks don’t get much greater than this stretch of golden sand in County Cork. Perfect for a barefoot winter paddle, brisk walks or a run up and down the dunes. 7. The Mourne Mountains There is no shortage of rambles, walks and climbs with fabulous views at Northern Ireland’s highest and most dramatic mountain range in County Down. They just feel even more rewarding in winter. 8. Keem Bay Ireland’s islands are at their most remote in winter time, and Achill Island in County Mayo is the perfect example. Keem Bay at the western end of the island is a wonderful cliff-top loop peering into the wild Atlantic. 9. Florence Court The civility of this magnificent Palladian mansion contrasts vividly with the wildness of its County Fermanagh grounds and landscapes. This is a walk where time seems to stand still amid lush parkland, thick woodland and the mountainous backdrop. 10. Howth Head The famous cliff-top trails here are just a few miles from the centre of Dublin. Walkers can enjoy magical views across the city, Dublin Bay and, on a good day, right up to the Mourne Mountains in County Down.
