CEANN IORRAIS WALK

The Erris Head Walk took place on Sunday last May the 23rd. Minister Dara Callery TD launched the walk and walked with us.

It was very well supported with 76 walkers taking part in perfect walking conditions. We had a pic nic half way with refreshments. It was a fun filled day and every one enjoyed them selves.

The views were breath taking as you can see from the photos below. It was a very successful day without any accidents or incidents.

The Slí ná Sláinte walk is a two mile leisurely walk which will take you on a hoop tour of the outskirts of Belmullet town. You can enjoy breathtaking views of Broadhaven Bay and Blacksod Bay and the manmade canal that joins the two bays.

This walk is wheelchair Accessible.
