Broadford Ashford Walking Trails
Broadford Ashford Walking Trails was set up by a voluntary committee based in the West Limerick villages of Broadford and Ashford. The trails have something to offer the amateur and the advanced walker including some challenging climbs, a variety of terrain, and beautiful views of West Limerick, with points of interests along each route.
The Trails Committee has consulted with Ballyhoura Failte, West Limerick Resources and the National Trails Office for advice as part of this project.
In the last decade the trails have been used on a regular basis by local walking groups. In 2007, a hill-walking club called the Mullaghareirk Ramblers was launched. On a monthly basis the club climbs some of Munster’s most popular hills and mountains. The club is affiliated with Mountaineering Ireland.

€135,270 for rural recreation projects will boost tourism in Limerick
Minister of State for Finance & Public Expenditure and Reform and Limerick TD, Patrick O’Donovan, has welcomed the allocation of €135,270 for rural recreation projects in Limerick.
“Limerick has been allocated €135,270 for rural recreation projects, which is extremely welcome and will help to boost tourism here in Limerick and in the surrounding region.
“This funding is part of €11 million in funding for over 200 projects nationally under the 2017 Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme, announced by my colleague Michael Ring, T.D Minister for Rural and Community Development.
“The Scheme is part of the Government’s Action Plan for Rural Development and is designed to maintain and improve our outdoor recreational infrastructure including for example our green-ways, blueways and walking trails.
“Limerick projects receiving grants include
· River Walk at Templeathea, Athea
· Mullaghareirk/Broadford Ashford walking trails
· Attycran Loop, Kilbehenny
· Promotion of trail infrastructure in the Ballyhoura region
· Shannon Estuary drive, Ballysteen Pier
· Clare Glens Loop Walk, Murroe
· Darby's Bed Loop Walk, Galbally
· Doon Convent Farm Walk
· Glin Heritage Walking Trails
· Kilfinane - Slievereagh Loop
· Knockfierna Famine Memorial Walks
· Manor Fields, Adare
· Moor Abbey Loop, Galbally
· Castleconnell Walk
· The marketing and publicity of outdoor recreation amenities, facilities and activities across Limerick, through West Limerick Resourese and Ballyhourna Development
“Recreational tourism is growing year on year and so it is crucial we continue to improve facilities and encourage more visitors. Figures from Fáilte Ireland show that the hiking and cycling tourism markets are worth approximately €1.2 billion to the Irish economy.
“Aside from the obvious tourism benefits, it’s also hugely important that we maintain and develop our outdoor infrastructure to encourage everyone to keep fit and live a healthy active lifestyle.
“Eighty per cent of each project is funded by the Government grant, with Limerick City and County Council making up the difference.
“Minister Ring has confirmed to me that he expects to make further announcements under the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme in the autumn.”
