Slí na
Sláinte
Slí na Sláinte, meaning "Path to Health",
is a simple innovative scheme developed by the Irish Heart Foundation
to encourage people of all ages and abilities to walk for leisure
and good health.
It
uses attractive signage at kilometre intervals on established walking
routes to help
walkers identify the distance they
walk. Slí na
Sláinte is designed to encourage people to walk more frequently
and to enjoy the benefits of a healthier lifestyle.

The Wicklow Way
The countryside of Ireland is a patchwork of many different landscape
types, including several mountainous and upland areas. One of the most
spectacular of these is in county Wicklow, just south of Dublin, which
despite its proximity to the capital contains many kilometres of wonderfully
unspoilt mountain trails of which The Wicklow Way is the best known.
In fact the Wicklow Way was the first such trail in Ireland having
been formally established in 1980.
The South Leinster Way
The South Leinster
Way is a long distance walking route which runs from Kildavin Co. Carlow
to Carrick-on-Suir in Co. Tipperary covering 102 km (64 miles) in length.
The predominant features in the landscape are Mount Leinster, Brandon Hill and
the river valleys of the Barrow, Nore and Suir. (The Three Sisters) This stretch
can be comfortably walked in five days but strong walkers can finish it in three
days.
