Walked this yesterday with one of my children. I'd suspect it could be a bit muddy in wet weather but it's a lovely walk with great scenery. A real gem and well worth a visit.

This walk was so fun. It's beautiful and very fun with the sheep around. Make sure to wear some good shoes- it was very muddy. Also finding the place is a trick. The last turn you make is a left onto a road only marked in Gaelic. It's got two brown arrow signs and is the only road that's marked... More

If you've got a couple of hours to,spare and love a good walk then this is the place to take out those walking shoes and bring an anorak! You never know when a rain shower is going to fall so be prepared. The walk is on the edge of the Erris Head, the rough sea underneath, cliff edges abound, waves... More

Not the longest walk in the world but possibly one of the more spectacular. Ideal for an early evening stroll. Fantastic views down from the cliff tops, some nice gentle gradients and very well sign posted. Possibly too well in places...in some places it was a bit 'Hansel and Gretel'!! But presumably if mist descended then you'll be very glad... More

We only did part of this walk because it was getting late. We thought we would drive right out to the head, didn't realise that there was a walk! The views were fabulous. We had a great laugh watching the sheep chasing each other and having a bit of a fight!

What's not to like, this is a bog walk where you stay dry along a path, get tons of fresh sea air and get to see great seaviews of Erris head and listen to the sound of the sea, just what the doctor ordered

This is a very pleasant short walk around the north wast of the Belmullet Peninsula. Climb is not at all difficult. Great views out to the small islands off the and up to Rossan Point in Donegal. Bring a pair of walking shoes.

At just over three miles this is one of the most spectacular walks we've done. It is well way-marked, impossible to get lost. The views are wonderful in all directions - especially looking back to Carrowteige and the Stags of Broadhaven. Try it - you won't be disappointed.

We ventured out on a windy March day with our 3 kids aged 8-4, you park overlooking the shore and the first section is uphill, but it soon levels out across a boggy(in winter) track thankfully the wet patches have small metal plating bridges to ensure you stay dry, it is well planned out and easy to follow. It is... More
