About/Contact

With over a decade of experience of walking the Irish hills, Adrian Hendroff aims to promote Ireland's outdoors and mountains through his books, magazine articles and photography. In his view, the high places of Ireland are a unique blend of mountains and the sea; and much of its mountain areas are untrodden and full of stunning landscape panoramas that many do not even know exist.

Adrian's mountain photography of Ireland's high places is unique: something very few photographers in Ireland can claim to do on a national level.

Adrian has climbed in Scotland, Wales, England, Romania and Iceland, along with the Alps and the Dolomites, but he considers the Irish mountains his spiritual home.
