  • Have you heard of the Littleton Labyrinth? 🌿

Perfect for families, school trips and outdoor adventures, this new 7.2km walking & cycle trail runs from the Horse & Jockey through the heart of Tipperary’s beautiful bogland 🚶♀️🚴♂️

Following an old peat rail line, the trail offers a safe, peaceful space to explore nature, spot unique flora and fauna, and learn about this fragile ecosystem that supports local biodiversity. Designed for all ages and abilities, it’s a lovely way for children to connect with nature, get active, and enjoy some fresh air 🌾

The Labyrinth element adds a fun and mindful twist too, encouraging curiosity, calm, creativity and reflection along the way.

📍 Parking available at Loch Doire Bhile, the old Bord na Móna peat factory, or the Horse & Jockey Hotel.

A hidden gem right on our doorstep, who’s adding this to their next family or school outing? 💚
