Local walks include a special area immediately adjacent to Teach Bán known as Dera.

It is a haven for the Flora and Fauna enthusiast as well as the bird watcher.

We hold a number of maps, which have been constructed for the serious walker, Stanfords provide detailed walking maps of the area which are available also.

Partry mountains are nearby and offer a real joy to the serious or casual walker, also Croagh Patrick is nearby for those who wish to experience the mountain Saint Patrick banished all the snakes from Ireland from. Of course there is always the opportunity to have some refreshment along the way.
