Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Winter often has the power to transform our landscapes. From snow-capped mountains, to misty lakes and glittering frost there are many beautiful scenes waiting to be discovered.

Whether you want to take a short dander along the banks of a frozen river or fancy embarking on a more adventurous snow-capped mountain ramble, Northern Ireland’s landscape is full of great walking opportunities that come into their own in the winter months. As proof we’ve put together this photoblog showcasing some of Northern Irelands great walks in the winter season as sent to us by our WalkNI fans - thanks for submitting some great snaps!
