What It’s About

Our Camino invites you to step into the calm, untouched beauty of rural South Leitrim. It is a day for:

· Walking through quiet boreens, woodland paths and rolling drumlin hills

· Seeing wildlife in their natural habitats

· Enjoying views of Garadice Lough and the Shannon–Erne Waterway

· Passing through townlands rich with over 1,200 years of Christian history

· Connecting with yourself, with nature, and with the community around you

Both routes explore the most authentic and breathtaking landscapes Drumreilly has to offer - open skies, hedgerows, wild birds, old stone walls, gentle countryside and stillness that photographs can never fully capture.

The Camino will be raising funds for North West STOP - northweststop.ie
