The Top Five Best Hikes in Ireland

Now, you might be wondering why we’re even talking about hikes. After all, the only cardio we’re usually known for is running our mouths and jumping to conclusions. But hear us out.

Through our work over the last year and a half, we’ve been all over Ireland — and while the cameras came out for one side of the trip, the mornings were often spent hiking. No filming, no fuss. Just moving, breathing, grounding ourselves — and not freaking out elderly walkers by making funny faces at a mobile phone.

There’s something about being out early, before the world kicks off, that resets the head. That’s grounding — being present, quiet, and not scrolling for once. Some things aren’t meant to be content.

Here are five hikes across Ireland we’ve actually done — no filters, no performance, just solid walks with class views:

1. Glendalough, Co. Wicklow

Peaceful, scenic, and borderline spiritual — until your legs start screaming. Worth it though.

2. Diamond Hill, Connemara, Co. Galway

Mad views over the Atlantic and Twelve Bens. Wind will slap the thoughts out of your head (in a good way).

3. Slieve Donard, Co. Down

Tallest in the North. Feels like climbing into the sky. Mournes = magic.

4. Brandon Peak, Co. Kerry

Pure cinematic. Spiritual vibes and judging sheep. Rain likely, craic guaranteed.

5. Howth Cliff Walk, Co. Dublin

Close to home, big on views. Casual but still hits the soul on a good day.

So yeah — we hike. We just don’t always post it. Some things are better kept in the moment
