 Boherquill Ramblers Annual Walking Festival

We hold our Walking Festival over the second weekend in May each year, starting with an evening walk on Friday. The superb gardens of Tullynally Castle have been the very popular venue for the opening walk of our Festival in recent years. On both Saturday and Sunday we have full day walks in our local area, facilitated by very supportive local landowners. The summit of Knockeyon, on normally private land overlooking Lough Derravaragh, is one such place we have visited and which has breath-taking views of the Lough and the countryside far to the south and west.

Weekends Away

Weekend trips have become an important feature of our year. Places visited have included The Burren, Clare Island, Nenagh, Glendalough, Drumshanbo, Newport and Wales. All of these places have wonderful walking trails and there is the chance to relax in the evening in comfortable surroundings with good company.

Day Trips

There are always several Sundays during the year when we have an earlier than usual start and travel further afield to places such as the Slieve Blooms, the Suck Valley, Carlingford in County Louth or Blacklion in County Cavan.
