Walk on the Wild Side
Discover your wild side
And reach a Natural High by exploring the West of Ireland with us. This is a great way to experience the real wild-west and free your wandering spirit in some of Ireland's most remote hills. With several route choices to suit any walker, we can guide you through the "inspiriting" landscape of the Nephin mountains as described by 19th century botanist Robert Lloyd Praeger.
Walks may traverse steep and uneven terrain, our guides will advise you on equipment and clothing before setting off. Good footwear and a reasonable level of fitness is required.
A full day hiking.
Transport included & pick up (approx 10am) / drop off (approx 5.30pm) available from Newport, Westport or nearby location
