Join us for the exciting '7 Galway Castles Heritage Cycle' on Sunday May 18th

Slí na gCaisleán’ (‘The Way of the Castles’) represents a guided ‘Off the Beaten Track’ heritage cycle tour along a 40km looped trail that encompasses seven castles on the north and eastern side of Galway city and into Galway county. 

The tour will start at the 'Plots' on the Dyke Road and continue to the vicinity of castles at Terryland, Menlo, Cloonacauneen, Killeen, Ballybrit, Castlegar and Ballindooley.

The tour will start at 10am on Sunday May 18th at the 'Plots' on the Dyke Road and continue to the vicinity of castles at Terryland, Menlo, Cloonacauneen, Killeen, Ballybrit, Castlegar and Ballindooley.

This leisurely cycle will journey over hills, along botharins, past farms, castles, karst outcrops, bogs, lakes, dykes, turloughs, pasture and wildflower meadow.

The tour will introduce participants to the wonderful natural and built heritage that exists not far from the hustle and bustle of a major modern built-up city. There will be opportunities to tour local historical sites and beautiful rural landscapes, to enjoy a group picnic and to have a light lunch on route.

Please note that participants should wear suitable clothing, and bring water/food and a puncture repair kit.

Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
