walks

This environment offers many contrasts of terrain. The walks at Belderrig Cliffs rise 1,002 feet from the sea and follow the coastline for miles. The challenge of the natural structue of these cliffs for abseiling and mountaineering must be confronted. They also provide a natural habitat for many marine mammals and sea birds. The Bangor Trail, the original road to Castlebar, is a spectacular walk and passable all year round. The unique undisturbed boglands, largest in Europe, the hills and slopes of rural farming communities and the many secluded coastal trails enchant the visitor. With noted equestrian facilities and many pony trekking trails in the area, this natural landscape seems all the more beautiful when viewed from the stout back of a proud mount. The real joy of exploring Erris is the solitude and sense of oneness with an undisturbed environment.
