Hiking and Hill Walking in the
Region
In our ever fast paced lives, a new escape from growing
mechanisation, noise, hustle and bustle has come to the
fore. Hiking and Walking is fast becoming one of the most
popular ways to get away from it all. An unspoilt view, the
whispering of the trees, the view from atop a mountain -
there is peace. No better place to experience real peace
than Cong, with its well laid out walks, mysterious caves,
and scenic views - sure to etch a place in the memories of
the most experienced walkers!
Want to take it easy outdoors, catch your breath? It is
also a fishermans paradise, with rods and boats available
and a plentiful supply of lakes, rivers and underground
streams. You can spend a week or more in Cong. There is a
lot to do without breaking the bank.
Entry to Caves, Mountains, Forest, viewing of stone
Circles, Cairns, Scenic Treks, Walks and fishing are all
free as are the superb views of Connemara from Mount Gable
which are sure to please.
Pony Trekking Cong Woods
