5 great spots for a weekend family walk

Brought to you by Aptamil Follow on Milk Ready to Drink.

It's time to explore the great outdoors.

It's hard to beat a little Sunday evening stroll. It's great to get some fresh air, spend time with the family and get active too. We are so lucky in Ireland that we have an abundance of beautiful places to go walking right on our doorstep. We have gathered up our five favourite walks from around the country. Why not give one of these a try this weekend? You won't regret it! Glenveagh, Donegal.  Glenveagh is an amazing national park nestled away in the hills of Donegal. It's the perfect spot to go for an afternoon walk with the family. The path from the visitor centre to the castle is buggy-friendly and about 4km long.  Make sure you stop in at the castle's tearooms for a cup of tea and one of their amazing fresh scones on your way back. If you don't fancy walking the whole way back to the carpark you can always take the bus.

The  Great South Wall Walk, Dublin.  If you're living in Dublin, The Great South Wall Walk is the perfect place to escape to at the weekend. The walk goes the whole way to Poolbeg Lighthouse (about 4km) and takes in stunning views of Dun Laoghaire and Sandymount strand.

Devil's Glen, Wicklow.  The Devil's Glen is totally kid-friendly (despite its name). The walk takes about an hour and a half. While wandering along, you’ll encounter a sculpture trail in the middle of the forested area as well as lots of picnic benches which are perfect for a little pit stop.

Barna Wood, Galway.  Spending the weekend in Galway? Then you might fancy a little family stroll through Barna Wood. Located near Silverstrand, Barna Wood is a great place for an easy family day out. See if the kids can find the holy well where St.Enda is said to have rested before travelling to the Aran Islands in the 5th century.

North Down Coastal Path, Down. This is a great walk if you like to stick to flat ground (pushing a buggy up a hill is no fun). The North Down Coastal Path stretches from Holywood in the west to Orlock in the east. The walk gives you amazing coastal views and you can sometimes even spot grey seals offshore.
