Did You Know?
The GAA is the cultural body that is dedicated to running and administering Ireland’s native sports including Gaelic Football and Hurling. Our tip is to get along to a hurling game. During the summer months you won’t get a better combination of Irish culture and a party than cheering on the blue and gold in what we like to call the best field game in the world.
Itinerary: Walking Trails
1-2 days:
Base yourself in Nenagh. On the first day, head southwest to Ballina to the Graves of the Leinstermen Loop. Extend your walk to the nearby Millennium Cross. Both of these walks are loops off the Lough Derg Way. Enjoy the many other amenities that are on offer around Lough Derg and don’t leave this area without stopping to take in the spectacular views from The Lookout. Return to Nenagh for the night and the following day set out for the village of Silvermines to the south where you can enjoy the Silvermines Loop which is part of the Sliabh Felim Way.
