A Céad Míle Fáilte awaits you in Leenane on the shores of the Killary Fjord for this special Connemara Mountain Walking Festival over the May Bank Holiday. Our goal is the let you experience what this fabulous community has to offer while getting close to some of the best scenery, nature, history and geology along the Wild Atlantic Way.

The walks we organise are designed to suit all levels of ability and let you fully immerse yourself in the wild Connemara landscape. We want you to enjoy our area as much as we do. Explore some wonderful footage from past walks in our gallery of photos on this website.

We are fortunate to have professional guides who not alone are highly trained mountain leaders, but are passionate about what they do to help make your experience all the more worthwhile. We encourage our walkers to interact and mingle on our walks as some of the best experiences you will have on a Connemara mountain is when you share it with others.

One other very interesting thing, especially for people who are not native Irish speakers, is to get your tongue around the names of the mountains, but don’t worry as a crash course will be provided before we set off. Transport to and from the walks is included in the price as well as tea and scones when you finish.
