On this circular hiking route we will explore the national monument site and landscape of Mamore Gap which has been shaped not only by natural processes but also by the people who have lived here.
As we ramble through this specular area we will look at the imprints left behind including a holy well and pilgrimage site; the ‘magic road’, a bottomless lake and a medieval boley or summer pasture area. We shall also explore the flora and fauna of the peat bogland.
During our lunch stop (morning tours) or snack break (afternoon tours) you will have time to soak in the views and chill out in this unique corner of the Wild Atlantic Way.

Testimonials
Customer Reviews
No matter what your level of fitness, Sharon can tailor her walk to suit so that everyone can get the most enjoyment of the great outdoors. A great experience to making the most of any trip to Donegal
The hikes are well organised and take place in some of the most spectacular areas of Donegal and the Northwest. Sharon’s wealth of knowledge and keen interest in the local area and further afield, makes for a very enjoyable day out. For anyone wanting to explore this region along the Wild Atlantic Way I have no hesitation in recommending Solas Ireland Walks and Hikes.
