Castlebar 4 Days′ Walks

Moorland and heather moorland - extraordinary hikes. Spectacular scenery and remote wilderness make this event a dream for every passionate hiker. And the climate has its own charm...

Here in Castlebar, we know that the Ramble provides a perfect space and time for walkers to share thoughts, chat endlessly, talk to complete strangers or no one at all, and feel the beauty of the Western Ireland countryside in all its elements. The Ramble is ideal for those who want to take time out from their busy daily lives.



Itinerary

Your arrival takes place individually. We are happy to offer you an additional flight to Dublin International from all available airports.

On your journey to the city with the Airlink bus, Dublin welcomes you and shows itself open and warm.

Dublin - A city full of traditions and history, but not dusty. Educated, but not pretentious. Cool, but not out of touch. Dublin is a city of musicians and poets, whose songs and stories are present everywhere in the local pubs and cafes and can even be heard in the busy streets. An academic city full of museums, yet always ready for a glass of beer or two.

Your 3*** hotel in the city center is already waiting for you. Check in and off you go for your first explorations. With your 48h Hop-on Hop-off ticket you will experience Dublin on your own! B&B


Start your adventure and catch one of the open-top buses at 13 Upper O'Connell Street. Both the Blue Line and Red Line will take you to some of the most fascinating sights and buildings that make Dublin a unique city. Get off at the 3rd stop to explore Nassau Street. Art lovers should get off at the 5th stop to visit the National Art Gallery.

"Merrion Square - get off at bite" ...at the 6th stop, for a relaxing stroll through the enchanted landscaped park. Take a short break at College Green Plaza at the 8th stop, and if you want to try the Dublin lifestyle, you can quench your thirst with a nice cold Guinness, freshly brewed at the Guinness Storehouse.

Remember, you can hop on and off as many times as you like, thus planning the tour at your own pace. B&B


Had a good breakfast? After two days of pulsating life in Dublin, you will surely feel sufficiently motivated for adventurous hikes in Castlebar! In Heusten Station, easy to reach on your own, you start your train ride across Ireland to the Atlantic coast to Castlebar. In this not even 6 hours train ride you will come to the realization that Ireland has to offer God knows more than excellent whiskey or Irish butter! Let yourself be carried away...!

Castlebar was originally a garrison town and derives its name from a settlement around the 11th century de Barra Castle. Today's Castlebar is a town with a lively infrastructure. The remarkable County Library, sports and leisure, arts with numerous facilities, exhibitions, competitions and festivals such as the world famous International Four Days Walks or the Guinness Castlebar Blues Festival are just some of the many attractions.

In the spirit of the International 4 Days Walk you will stay at a guesthouse in Castlebar. B&B
