Slieve Bloom Looped Walks

Walk in the Slieve Bloom and discover a wonderful variety of landscapes – blanket bogs, forestry paths, wooded valleys, mountain streams and waterfalls, and old settlement ruins. We have a choice of 16 different Looped Walks, which start and finish from 6 different Trail Heads to suit all levels of fitness with detailed maps and directions.

Looped walks are a great way to enjoy the great outdoors, they start and end in the same spot, meaning you can return to your car without having to double back on your path or find an alternative way back to the beginning. Fill an active staycation in Ireland with this excellent variety of walks, also perfect for picnics, days out and family activities.
