Ulster Way walks programme 2010
The revised Ulster Way route and accompanying website were launched in September by Environment Minister Edwin Poots.
The new route provides walkers with an opportunity to view scenery and biodiversity, encounter myth and legend and sample the local culture through all the counties of Ulster. Many partners have worked together to develop the new route which can be explored online at walkni.com/ulsterway
or on foot around the country near you!
The route showcases the work of those who manage, protect and enhance this living environment. Join the Northern Ireland Environment Agency and the Ulster Way partners to find out more about the life, history and culture along the route through this series of events:
