It was founded in the 1970s by Wilfrid Merydith Capper,[2][3] who was inspired by Tom Stephenson's Pennine Way.

The path visits many places of interest including the Mourne Mountains, Giant's Causeway, Cavehill and the Sperrins.

Wilfrid Capper developed the idea for the Ulster Way in 1946, as a waymarked trail that would pass through the six counties of Northern Ireland, linking 15 youth hostels which were in place at the time.

[6] In April 2003, Environment Minister Angela Smith MP announced a project to improve and maintain the Ulster Way.
