Ulster Way
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Ulster Way is a series of walking routes which encircle the Irish province of Ulster. It was founded in the 1970s by Wilfred Capper[1]. The majority of it lies within Northern Ireland, the remainder being in the Republic of Ireland.
The route stretches for 560 miles and visits many places of interest including the Mourne Mountains, Giant's Causeway, Cavehill and the Sperrins. Most of the paths are clearly sign-posted, with the remainder less clear. It is not unknown for signs to direct walkers into bogs. Generally the walking is moderately easy and accessible.
Several books have been published as a guide to walking the route. Including:
- The Ulster Way, Paddy Dillon, The O'Brien Press, 1999, ISBN 0-86278-589-8
- Walking the Ulster Way, Alan Warner, Appletree Press, 1989, ISBN 0-86281-227-5
