June-July 2016

The Castlebar International Four Days' Walks Festival will take place from 30th June to 3rd July 2016. It is Ireland's oldest festival, most celebrated and a very well known event since 1967.

It attracts walkers from all over the world and it is an ideal opportunity for them to meet, talk, walk and discover bogs, rivers, mountains and unspoilt corners of the West of Ireland. All of the road walks are through the countryside around Castlebar and each day 10km, 20km and 40km road walks are organised.

The Ramble is a unique feature of the festival. Each Ramble is approximately 5 hours in duration and commands spectacular views of County Mayo across bog and heather moorland. For 2016 new Rambles are Letterkeen Loop Walk and Keenagh Walk.
