About Maynooth Hillwalking Club

Maynooth Hillwalking Club was established in 1998 to cater for the hillwalking interests of people in North Kildare and surrounding areas.

The club walks most weeks (usually Sunday) mainly in the Dublin-Wicklow mountains with occasional trips and weekends away to other parts of Ireland such as The Mourne Mountains, The Galtees,The Slieve Blooms and The Cooleys to name but a few. We also have trips abroad to Wales, England and Scotland and sometimes even the Alps.
