Go direct to the Seven Marked Trails at Churchtown ...

Ballyhoura Way 

Cradled in the arms of the Ballyhoura and Galtee mountain, Ballyhoura Country offers the walker a unique experience to sample rural Ireland at its best. Located in an area of untamed, unspoilt pollution free country-side the Ballyhoura Way passes through Churchtown village and stretches across counties Limerick, Cork and Tipperary.

Ballyhoura Country is a haven of tranquillity, a jewel waiting to be discovered, a walker’s paradise where you will experience nature at its best. For the more experienced walker/hill-climber to the beginner, Ballyhoura can offer a variety of walks to suit your needs. Take on the challenge of the Galtees (919m), Seefin (519m), the Ballyhoura Marathon (26 miles) or experience peace walking close to a flowing river meandering through lush green Ballyhoura pastures far removed from the distractions and pressure of everyday living.

Blackwater Way

There is a wonderful variety of mapped and marked walks, not least the way-marked Blackwater Way, to be encountered in the Blackwater Valley: loop walks, forest walks, heritage trails, themed trails and scenic strolls, information on which can be obtained in Churchtown.
