Brian Hoey runs the company Mountain Ways Ireland; a local company offering fully guided day hikes and mountain skills training in the historic Irish mountain ranges of Mourne, Cooley and Gullion. We also offer multi-day self- guided walking holidays. We want you to experience and immerse fully in the history, culture, legend, and everyday life of these wonderful landscapes.

Brian’s family have lived and farmed on the slopes of Slieve Gullion for countless generations. This has bred a deep love and passion for the mountain environment in general and the reason why Brian has spent years walking through the High Mournes, meeting the local characters, listening to their stories and understanding their rich historical heritage.

On a hike with us, you will enjoy the high mountain landscapes or lower-level routes –your choice. We will look at what has shaped this area and the people who have lived here from pre-history to the present day. Listen as we bring to life their stories, myths, and legends.

With Mountain Ways Ireland you will always receive a personal, friendly, and professional service, and not to forget a bit of craic along the way!
