Building a Shared North South Way Network
The North South Way Peace Camino is more than a walking route. It is a growing, shared network of people, communities, organisations, charities and businesses working together to create something meaningful across the island.
The North South Way Network brings together:
- community and voluntary groups
- charities and social enterprises
- local businesses and tourism providers
- partners across sectors
Together, we are creating a connected pathway that supports peace, people and place.
Working Together
The North South Way Network creates opportunities to:
- take part in shared events and Peace Camino experiences
- develop tourism and visitor opportunities along the route
- celebrate local heritage, culture, and creativity
- support local economies and sustainable growth
- connect communities across the North and South
By working together, we are not only shaping the Peace Camino — we are creating new opportunities that benefit local people, businesses, economy and communities.
Opportunities for Businesses

Visitors will be able to:

This creates a strong experience-led tourism model that benefits local businesses directly.
