Family Fun Time: Wrap Up Warm And Get The Walking Boots On For A Brisk Winter Jaunt

Our days are so busy with work and school that it can be difficult to find time to spend together as a family.

Brother and sister Flik and Flak are definitely up for some family fun this weekend with www.flikflak.com

The weekend is the time to invest in your family and to have some fun with one another before we’re back to our hectic Monday schedule.

Although we are expecting a chilly weekend there are a dry few days on the cards. Last weekend we went ice-skating but instead of sitting on the couch and watching the same old movie again this weekend, why not get your walking shoes on, wrap up the kids and set off on a brisk winter trail? Ireland has so many unique and interesting places to spend an afternoon and the fresh air and exercise will do the family a world of good!

Where To Go?

 

The Burren Way

Where: O’Brien’s Bridge to Lahinch County Clare

This walk is perfect for a family day out. The journey is less that 5km and is extremely accessible when it comes to buggies and pushchairs. The walk is extremely close to the sea so it offers some excellent views and fresh salty air. The Burren is home to thousands of unique plants and animals and is a perfect way to spend an afternoon. Why not bring a winter picnic to enjoy by the beach?

The Oak Park Loop

Where? Oakpark Forest Park, Carlow Town, County Carlow

This walk is extremely accessible for your family and if you’re carrying a little one on the jaunt a buggy is very easily pushed along the path. The walk is a total of 4km so it won’t completely wreck your children. The family can enjoy the wonderful woodlands along with the extensive flora and fauna available. The walk also bypasses a lake which is home to a number of swans and ducks just waiting to be fed!

The Ballyconnell Loop

Where? Ballyconnell County Cavan

Ballyconnell is overlooked by the Slieve Russell mountain and it is a great place to tire out the kids. Walk along the picturesque town’s canal loop to get your daily dose of exercise. The loop begins from the bridge in the middle of the town and explores the banks of the Woodford River. Bring a thermos of hot chocolate to enjoy once you’re all tucked up into the car on the way home 

The Torc Waterfall Loop

Where? Killarney National Park County Kerry

Killarney National Park is one of the country’s most beautiful with its stunning lakes, famous waterfalls and mountain side location. Take the kids on either of the parks beautiful trails and take in the sights. Torc waterfall is the country’s largest and is a gorgeous sight to feast your eyes on. However, this is not one for the heavy buggy as it is predominantly uphill.
