Walking in Ireland Package

Dear club members

Please find attached pdf advertising our Special Offer Walking package in West of Ireland. This is a beautiful area of Ireland and we would be delighted if you or your walking group will come and explore it.

Walking is a rewarding and healthy way to discover the beauty of the area. The Miners Way and Historical Trail leads through various towns and villages in North Roscommon, South Sligo and County leitrim and traverses the Curlew, Bricklieve and Arigna Mountains. The two routes total over 118 kms in length. The range of walks that are available for all levels of walkers in the Boyle area are so diverse it will be hard to choose which one to do first! The Bricklieve Mountains & Carrowkeel with its Megalithic tombs have rough terrain and breathtaking scenery. The Carrowkeel/Keshcorran Megalith complex is located west of Lough Arrow just outside the little town of Castlebaldwin and is the sight of the largest concentration of passage tombs in Ireland. These passage tombs (fourteen in all) are sunken burial chambers made of large limestone slabs, topped with huge piles (cairns) of rocks. These tombs are most usually located high upon hills and mountains and dot the landscape around Sligo County, forming a larger network of ancient sites whose mysterious origin is still largely debated. The Carrowkeel complex, believed to have been constructed between 3000 and 2000 BC, remained in use until 1500 BC.

I will be delighted to help you with any questions you may have, including, transport, accommodation, guides, maps etc

I look forward to hearing from you.
Best Regards
