Book a June Walking Break Today

This June, check in on Monday the 15th or 29th of June for 4 Nights Dinner, Bed & Breakfast in the Clifden Station House Hotel, with guided walks of some of Connemara’s most beautiful areas.

Experience the vibrant beauty of Ireland’s west coast at its most alive. In Connemara, long daylight hours and fresh breezes create the perfect conditions for exploring on foot. Wander along scenic trails through wildflower-dotted boglands and the shimmering coastline of the Wild Atlantic Way. Whether you’re a seasoned hiker or a leisurely stroller, Connemara offers a perfect backdrop for every pace. Discover hidden corners of this remarkable landscape and soak up the energy and tranquillity of Connemara in summertime.

Our guide will meet all walkers in the Hotel Lounge at 10am each morning prior to departing for the start of each walk. Own transport is required.

Day 1: Cross the strand to Omey Island: Tuesday’s adventure takes you across the strand at low tide to reach this unique tidal island, where the ever-changing Atlantic landscape creates a truly memorable setting. Along the way, take in sweeping coastal views and discover traces of early Christian heritage. With its peaceful atmosphere and sense of remoteness, Omey offers a refreshing escape into nature. This walk covers approximately 8km, is rated easy to moderate, and takes around 3 hours to complete.

Day 2: Step back in time on the Killary Famine Trail: On Wednesday, follow this historic route built during the Great Famine, tracing a path rich in history and human story. Set alongside the striking scenery of Killary Harbour, Ireland’s only fjord, the trail combines dramatic mountain backdrops with coastal beauty. Along the walk, gain insight from our knowledgeable guide into the resilience of the communities who once relied on this route. Covering a distance of 9 kilometres, this walk is moderate in difficulty, and takes up to 4 hours.

Day 3: Witness history and nature at Derrigimlagh & Inishnee Island: Thursday’s hike explores a landscape where pioneering history meets sweeping coastal scenery, beginning at Derrigimlagh, the site of Marconi’s pioneering wireless station and the landing place of Alcock and Brown’s first transatlantic flight. Walk across open blanket bog with panoramic views of the Twelve Bens before continuing to Inishnee Island, where a scenic coastal route reveals stunning vistas over Roundstone Bay and the Atlantic beyond. These walks cover approximately 10km total, are rated easy to moderate, and take around 4-5 hours to complete.

We recommend all walkers come equipped with suitable hiking boots and all-weather gear.

On returning from your walks you can relax in our Leisure Centre or book a treatment in Renew Spa before enjoying live music each evening and the best of local cuisine in the Carriage Restaurant or cosy Signal Bar and Restaurant.
