Hart and Soul Walks
Our walks are all about getting active outside, connecting with others, as well as ourselves and then slowing down as we refuel with the best homemade food - healthy and delicious!
Our walks are an opportunity to be guided and looked after by an experienced and qualified Mountain Leader with extensive local knowledge. They are graded ❤️, ❤️❤️ or ❤️❤️❤️ depending on length or walk, terrain and height gain.

LOOPIN' THE LOANINS graded ❤️ AND SLIEVE CROOB graded ❤️ but graded ❤️❤️ if done on the same day
From the car park on The Lighthouse Road between Dromara and Castlewellan, Co Down, we take in the spectacular views across the countryside to the Mournes as we wind our way through some some long forgotten lanes or 'loanins'. This route can be a little muddy under foot, so walking boots, or welly boots are recommended.
