Quality Sections

The Quality Sections as the name suggest provide a truly quality walking experience. They are mainly on the already established Waymarked Ways which are predominantly off road, pass through Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty and waymarked throughout their length.

Link Sections

The Link Sections are not waymarked and mainly on public roads some of which can be very busy. Walkers are actively encouraged to make use of public transport along these sections so they can make best use of their time on the more attractive Quality Sections.

The revised Ulster Way was officially launched on 16th September 2009.  This website is designed to help you plan ahead so you can be one of the first to walk the new route!  Please Note: All signposts and waymarkers may not yet be in place.

There is no better opportunity to take in Northern Ireland’s spectacularly varied scenery, wonder at its wildlife and sample the local heritage.

Follow in the footsteps of St Patrick along the Lecale Way, discover the Mourne landscapes that inspired the Tales of Narnia, take in the tranquility of the Fermanagh Lakelands, enjoy the rugged Sperrin Mountains and not forgetting the awe amazing Giant’s Causeway.

The Ulster Way truly provides the destination for that ultimate walking holiday.
