* Low-level guided walks along the Famine Tracks and the Western Way.
* Self-guided short walks for the family
* Programme of talks and music
* Code of conduct and public insurance for all walkers
* Special Activity deals at Delphi & Killary Adventure Centre for the weekend
* No problem on any of the guided walks with access
No dogs allowed.
All guided walks will be led by qualified and experienced guides, aided by locals with vast knowledge and information on the area. Transport to and from starting and finishing points will be provided.
