Walking Festivals in Northern Ireland

The three challenge walks os Castlerock Walkfest have amazing views, on a clear day you can even see Donegal, the Sperrins and Scotland.  The Grangemore Walk takes you for a circular walk over ancient sand dunes.  Families enjoy the fun of our Family Walk and our History Walks are a stroll with interesting facts about Castlerock and Earl Bishop Hervey of Downhill Demesne. Ever thought of trying Nordic Walking, we have an instructor and poles ready for you to try.  Explore the Castlerock Moors with an archaeologist, or just come to get in your 10,000 steps, while enjoying the banter.  Don’t forget you need to book if you want to do any of the walks.

The rugged countryside of Omagh and The Sperrins region is some of the most beautiful in Ireland. The stunning natural blend of peaks, forests, moors, valleys, lakes and rivers makes the area a firm favourite for walkers, cyclists, paddlers and swimmers. The walking festival, delivered by Far and Wild on behalf of Fermanagh and Omagh District Council, offers a series of walks which will feature two grades of difficulty; a moderate 8km walk or a challenging 12km walk. The walks will be led by experienced guides beginning at the Gortin Glen Forest Park (Saturday) and An Creagán (Sunday) with transport being provided to the start of each walk.
