Carrick-on-Suir is a region of history, heritage and great natural beauty. Carrick-on-Suir gives way to rolling hills and towering mountains all crisscrossed by 'way marked ways' (east Munster way and south Leinster way) walking routes which link many towns and villages. Walking at your own pace whether alongside rivers or through forests and mountains you are free to savour the special charms of this splendid part of Ireland. Choose walks to suit your own ability and let the splendours of the South East unfold before you.

The East Munster Way extends from Carrick-on-Suir, west/south-west to Clogheen, a distance of 70 kms. The South Leinster Way, which can also be joined at Carrick-on-Suir runs north-east for 102 km via Piltown and the valleys of the Nore, Barrow and Slaney to Kildavin.
