Explore Our Tours & Walks
At Land & Legend Trails, for us walking is about more than steps and scenery, it’s about connection. Connection to the landscape beneath your feet, to the stories shaped by time, and to the simple pleasure of being outdoors in good company.
Ireland’s myriad landscapes — from coastlines and mountain valleys to city streets — hold layers of story and we Irish love a good story. The granite that built towns and harbours. Old paths once used by pilgrims, traders and travellers. Quiet places where myth, memory and history still seem close to the surface. When we slow down and take our time walking through these places, they begin to reveal themselves.
Our walks are designed to be relaxed, friendly and full of small discoveries. We move at a comfortable pace, pause often, and look beyond what’s obvious — exploring the geology, nature, history, folklore and human stories that give each place its character and shape the Ireland we see today.
Whether you’re visiting Ireland for the first time or rediscovering familiar ground, the aim is simple: to share a great walk, hear a few good stories, and leave with a deeper sense of the place.
Walk The Land. Discover The Legend.

If you want to explore the stories hidden along Dublin’s coastline then, The Granite Coast Tour is for you.
This is a relaxed coastal walk from Dún Laoghaire to Dalkey, where we follow the curve of the bay with the sea on one side and layers of history on the other. The same Wicklow granite beneath your feet built the harbour walls, the Martello towers, local churches — and even parts of London. On this tour, we bring that stone to life.
Along the way, we explore how Dún Laoghaire Harbour was built after a tragic maritime disaster, how the railway transformed Victorian seaside life, and why Dalkey was once a Viking trading port. We pass historic towers built to defend against Napoleon, hear stories of writers like Joyce, and take in some of the best coastal views in Ireland.
It’s not a history lesson but a story of ambition, survival, engineering, and everyday life by the sea.
Expect fresh air, big views, great conversation, and a deeper appreciation of the landscape that shaped Dublin and far beyond.
Suitable for visitors, locals, and anyone who enjoys walking, storytelling, and discovering the meaning behind the places we think we already know.

If you think the hills are beautiful by day, wait until you see them at night.
Our Night Walks are gentle, guided evening walks around Dublin and Wicklow where we slow things down and experience the landscape in a completely different way. As the sun sets and darkness settles in, the noise fades, the crowds disappear, and your senses begin to sharpen.
We walk at an easy pace using headtorches when needed, letting our eyes adjust naturally to the light of the moon and stars. Along the way, we’ll chat about constellations, local folklore, nocturnal wildlife, and how our ancestors would have experienced these same hills without streetlights or screens.
There’s something grounding about walking under a dark sky — it’s quiet, reflective, and surprisingly calming. It’s also great fun. Expect laughter, shared stories, and that slightly magical feeling of being somewhere you wouldn’t normally be after dark.
These hikes are suitable for beginners and families (typically 12+), and no previous night walking experience is needed — just a sense of curiosity and a willingness to step outside your comfort zone.
Because sometimes the best way to see the land is when you can’t quite see it at all.
