Walking clubs in Ireland are very popular with both the locals and visitors to Ireland. Joining a walk arranged by a walking club is a great way to get out and meet new people while taking in a walk that is recommended by the walking club. Club organisers are experts on the best local walks and will guide you along the way. If you are only visiting Ireland for a holiday with a Walkers Welcome B&B, then there are many walks that allow visitors to join them for the short period of time that they are in Ireland. Your host at your bed and breakfast will be able to tell you about any local walking clubs and can even arrange for you to join a walk organised by the walking club.
