<h3>We're big believers in the power of the outdoors and the countless benefits that walking has for our physical and mental health.&nbsp;</h3>
<p>Now, as the days get shorter and the weather more severe, it's going to be harder and harder to find the motivation to get out for daily/weekly walk.</p>
<p>But you don't have to venture far to get the most out of your locality's natural surroundings. With Xplore's Hikes &amp; Trails, we want to make it as easy as possible for you to enjoy what's on your doorstep — especially during the winter months when dark, cold days give you every reason not to.&nbsp;</p>

<li>Xplore uses <strong>Mapbox technology</strong> to give you turn-by-turn directions along your route. Mapbox is a navigation software that is used by hundreds of major companies worldwide, including Strava, Snapchat, and Lonely Planet. It's reliable, accurate, and built into every single one of our mapped hikes and trails.&nbsp;</li>
<li><strong>Elevation and Walking Guides </strong>are available within the hike/trail so that you can come prepared for whatever the route holds. Find out if the area is prone to flooding, what kind of wildlife you can expect to see, and what kind of terrain you should dress for.&nbsp;</li>
<li>You can <strong>check out hikes/trails in other towns</strong> too. If you find yourself on a weekend trip this winter and fancy exploring the area's natural surroundings, there are plenty of local routes to be discovered in our Hikes &amp; Trails section. Click 'Select another town' in the Xplore app menu, and find trails for any one of our 12 towns in Cork, Kerry, Galway, and Carlow.</li>

<h3>One Local Trail to Get You Started:</h3>
<p>Check out <strong>Glenabo Woods Trail</strong> in the Hikes &amp; Trails section of the Xplore Local Fermoy app. A dense, beautiful forest that provides loads of shelter from the wind and the rain, offers lots of peace and quiet and is only a short drive from the town centre.&nbsp;</p>
