Welcome to the Midleton Hillwalking Club Website

Following local advertising the club received a huge response. Initially it was intended to provide mountain and hill walks only but a considerable number of members were interested in low level walks.Members come from Cork City , Glanmire and East Cork. The club has a wide range of walks for it members. Every second Sunday we trek on the mountains of South Munster .On alternative Saturday afternoons we walk locally in the East Cork Region. These walks vary from cliff walks, track walks, forest walks and riverside walks.
