Everything you need to know about our woodland walks in Offaly
We pace all walks for active retirees — that means steady but comfortable, with built-in rest stops and no rushing. Whether you're exploring the ancient oaks at Charleville Forest or the flat canal bank paths near Tullamore, you'll have time to enjoy the scenery and chat with the group.
Most of our Charleville Forest trails run 90 minutes to 2 hours, while the Tullamore canal strolls are typically 60 to 90 minutes. Times include pauses for interpretation and rest — we're never chasing the clock.
Comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing are all you need. Our guides know the trails inside out and can suggest easier alternatives or shorter loops if you'd prefer a gentler outing. We work with what suits you on the day.
We ask for advance booking so we can arrange group sizes and share route details with you beforehand. This also helps us let you know about any terrain changes or seasonal highlights. Get in touch with us to check availability and confirm a date that works for you.
We check forecasts closely and may reschedule walks if conditions look unsafe. If we do go ahead in rain or cooler weather, the woodland is beautiful year-round and the guides know sheltered spots and interesting details to enjoy whatever the season brings.
Yes. Both Charleville Forest and Tullamore canal have gentler sections with good surfaces and shorter loop options. The canal bank walks are particularly flat and easy underfoot. Chat with us about what suits you best and we'll find the right route.
