What to Expect

All our walks are led by experienced guides who know the Monaghan forest parks intimately. We keep groups small so everyone gets personal attention and support. Walks are designed for adults aged 55 and over, though pace and distance vary by programme. We focus on enjoying nature, building community, and moving at a rhythm that feels right for you.
