    Tips

    Hiking

    NB: At the time of writing (July 2025), this section of the Western Way was impassable and closed until further notice. See: thewesternway.ie for trail updates.

    This is a beautiful section of the Western Way long-distance trail. Boardwalks take you along the bog beneath the Maumturks outlier of Lackavrea, an impressive, standalone peak. Expect pretty little waterfalls, grand views into the heart of Connemara and rich wildlife.

    Hiking

    Sturdy waterproof shoes advisable. The paths are paved, but depending on the rainfall, they can be muddy and the wooden beams can be a bit slippery.

    One can encounter free running horses and cows.
