Leitrim walking festival returns to 'beautiful Glenade Valley' in April
The North Leitrim Glens Walking Festival is set to return to the Glenade Valley this April.
A two-day walking festival is set to return to north Leitrim this April, with participants taking on hills in the Glenade Valley this Easter Saturday.
The North Leitrim Glens Hillwalking Festival will take place on April 4th & 5th, starting out from the Aghanlish Community Centre in Glenade on both days.
The festival offers a range of guided walks across the hills in collaboration with the Wild Atlantic Hikers and a team of volunteers to ensure the safety of participants.
There is a variety of walks on offer, with a medium and long walk on the Saturday and a medium walk on the Sunday.
"The walks will be in the ever beautiful Glenade Valley, venturing up Tievebaun and Truskmore on Saturday, followed by a stunning walk in Largydonnell on Sunday,” said organisers, who thanked Leitrim County Council, Leitrim Tourism, Trailblazers Outdoors and Call of the Wild for sponsoring the event.
On Saturday evening, participants will be able to enjoy some traditional music in Biddy's Bar, Manorhamilton, from 8pm.
Tickets to the event are available online, while numbers will be capped at 50 per walk to meet hill safety requirements and bus capacity.
Information on the various walks on offer is available online.
