Developed and delivered by The Sperrins Partnership* and outdoor experts Far and Wild, Sperrins Walking is designed to appeal to a broad range of walkers to enjoy the beautiful landscape as well as promoting health, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing.
Participants will enjoy discovering a destination filled with unique experiences and a great choice of walks ranging from moderate ability to more demanding longer walks. Experienced guides will lead small walking groups to uncover the stories, history, environment and heritage of this unique landscape.

Cllr Sean Clarke, Chair of The Sperrins Partnership said: “We are delighted to announce the return of Sperrins Walking. Over the past three year’s, all 4 Councils, that make up the Sperrins Partnership, have watched the programme grow and develop in popularity with walkers of all abilities. Once again, they’ve all come together to deliver a range of walks to enjoy throughout the beautiful Sperrin Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) while also promoting health, physical, mental and emotional wellbeing. With stunning scenery and expert and experience guides these walks are not to be missed.”
Lorcan McBride, Sperrins Walking guide, added: “With our expert walking guides on hand, the walks will delight and engage everyone who takes part in the experience. This year’s programme, once again, features walks suited to those with moderate ability to those who like a walking challenge. The walks will traverse across the Sperrins uncovering the majestic landscape, the unique environment and the rich history and heritage of the area."
