No car? No problem
Carpooling is facilitated for all events through a group WhatsApp. While a lift can't be guaranteed, we do everything we can to assist and assign tickets specifically for drivers who can offer lifts to help ensure enough rides for everyone.
About the day
Queen Maeve’s Trail is a breathtaking loop hike up Knocknarea, leading to the ancient cairn of Queen Maeve, a site steeped in mythology and history. This 7.9 km route follows a well-maintained boardwalk with a steady incline, rewarding you with panoramic views of Sligo Bay at the summit.
This moderately challenging hike takes approximately 3 hours to complete, making it suitable for those with a reasonable level of fitness.
After the hike, we’ll head to a local spot in Strandhill to refuel and continue the chats!
Please note this is a self-guided walk. The host will have a map of the route, but you are responsible for your own safety.
