The Slieve Bloom Walking Festival takes place in spring every year as the bluebells come into full bloom and the hills are alive with birdsong.

This year the Slieve Bloom Walking Club celebrates it’s 30th year with a wide variety of walks. The festival starts on Saturday May 2nd and finishes on Monday May 4th. The festival offers a choice of woodland walks, riverside and gentle rolling hills with experienced walk leaders who will enhance your hike with stories of local history, geology and fauna.

We have an A, B and C walks on both Saturday and Sunday. The Monday walk is a Grade A 13k and will take about 4 hours. The C and B walks are easy to moderate with a more strenuous A walk which is more suitable for the more experienced hiker.

Readers are advised to check with the organiser before relying on the details published here.
