How it works

No special walks and no GPS tracking. Walk wherever you are; explore somewhere new.

1

Choose a trail

Start free on the Causeway Coast or the Kalalau Trail, or travel further with Passport.

2

Walk as usual

With your permission, walking already recorded in Apple Health moves you along the route.

3

Collect the stories

Each landmark brings a story, souvenirs and, at the finish, a passport stamp and medal.

Six trails to start

Painted landscapes and stories at every landmark, from the North Coast of Ireland to Tasmania.
