Welcome to Sliabh Hiking Group, where your adventure begins! Based in the beautiful county of Waterford, Ireland, Sliabh (pronounced “Shlee-uv”) is more than just a hiking group—it’s a community of outdoor enthusiasts who share a passion for exploring the stunning landscapes that our region has to offer.
Founded by April Brophy in May 2022, Sliabh Hiking Group was born out of a love for the mountains, trails, and scenic beauty that surround us. April believes that hiking is not just about reaching the summit but about the journey, the camaraderie, and the personal growth that comes with every step.
Our members come from all walks of life, united by a common goal: to experience the wonders of nature together. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker looking for a challenge or a beginner eager to discover new trails, there’s a place for you in our group. We offer hikes of all levels, from gentle coastal walks to demanding mountain ascents, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect path.
At Sliabh, we prioritize safety, respect for nature, and the joy of shared experiences. Our knowledgeable guides lead each hike with care, ensuring that every outing is enjoyable, informative, and safe. We also emphasize sustainability, encouraging all members to leave no trace and to preserve the natural beauty of our surroundings.
But Sliabh is more than just a hiking group—it’s a place where friendships are formed, stories are shared, and memories are made. After a day on the trails, we often gather to celebrate our achievements and to plan our next adventure.
Join us at Sliabh Hiking Group, and let’s explore the natural beauty of Waterford and beyond, together. Your adventure awaits!
