This authentic hiking experience will provide a fascinating insight into this unique and primeval landscape.
As we journey through time, we will explore how the bog (or peatland) was formed, its myths and legends, an ancient monastic site; traditional turf cutting as well as the unique biodiversity of the bog and its role in the fight against climate change.
We will also see green energy in action as we ramble through this dramatic landscape.
Our lunch stop (morning tours) or snack break (afternoon tours) will be upon a hilltop with panoramic views of Lough Swilly and West Donegal.

Testimonials
Customer Reviews
Fabulous. I have no doubt that I gained much more from this guided experience than on my own. Sharon is clearly passionate and informed; she is a relaxed and experienced leader who provided great encouragement, a warm welcome, support and freedom during the experience from booking throughout to the conclusion.
Knowledgeable and well prepared guide who loves the outdoors and her home. It was good to hike with someone who was also so knowledgeable about the ecology and history of the area. We greatly enjoyed our hike and would do other hikes with this guide!
