Activity Finder

Walks

Walking is a fantastic way to get active and enjoy the outdoors. When it comes to kids however, especially as they get older, the word "walk" can send them running for cover. So your plan is to pick a walk, it could be your local route or further afield when you have time, and use the Activity Finder below to keep it interesting and challenging for everyone. 

If you are going further afield, the following are great online resources for finding walks and trails around your county and all over Ireland:

​

• Alltrails.com

​

• Sports Ireland/Walks

​

• Coillte

​

• Tree Trail Walks in Dublin parks

​

• Or google "walks and trails near me".

Tips For Getting Kids Outdoors 

​

Check out our top blog post Tips For Getting Kids Outdoors for ways to make the outdoors fun.

​

Our goal is to use the simple activities in the Activity Finder to help make all your outings more fun for everyone, including the ordinary, everyday, walks near our homes. We can't always head off on hikes or to the woods, so we must try to tap into the Nature nearby in our gardens or estate greens, along our streets, or in local small parks. There's lots to see and explore when we start to TUNE IN and this is how to regularly access the health benefits of the outdoors and Nature.

​

Keep in mind that many of the 15 Minute Nature Nudge and 30 Minutes of Magic activities work really well as part of longer outings too.
