Ways<br />

Besides the one-day walks that can be found across<br />

the province, <strong>Northern</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> also offers a variety<br />

of longer, multi-day walking routes. Known as<br />

‘waymarked ways’, these are fully signposted trails<br />

that explore some of the best scenery in the region.<br />

The routes vary in character; some spend their time on<br />

quiet country lanes, while others cross open<br />

mountainsides and remote moorland. What all the routes<br />

have in common is their format. Ranging from 32km to 65km<br />

long, each is designed to take two or three days to complete.<br />

The trail is signed throughout by frequent waymarking posts:<br />

metre-high wooden stakes painted with a walking symbol. Stiles,<br />

footbridges and other walking infrastructure are in place to help<br />

you cross any obstacles, and intermittent information boards<br />

provide details about the most interesting natural and historical<br />

features along the route.<br />
