Upcoming Events

Guided Walks

Guided Walks are held every Wednesday and Friday for July & August, starting from the Visitor Centre at 11am. The walk takes visitors off trail, across the bog visiting a megalithic tomb. As visitors are taken off trail, it is advisable to have boots suitable for wet and boggy conditions. Visitors are also asked to bring rain gear. The walk takes between 1.5 - 2 hours approximately.
