Get away from it all on this classic hiking route along the Wild Atlantic Way.
Starting at sea level we will ascend 300 metres to two mystic mountain lakes nestled in the Urris Hills. The wild Atlantic will be our constant companion with stunning views of Fanad, Lough Swilly, North Inishowen and the Atlantic Ocean.
Along the way we will hear some local stories, learn a bit of history, and get close to nature as we explore the local flora and fauna. A lunch stop with a panoramic view will beat the best restaurants in the world!
Post-hike why not enjoy a swim in the crystal-clear water of the Atlantic at beautiful Lenan Beach – don’t forget your swimming togs (seasonal unless you are very brave!).

Testimonials
Customer Reviews
We are truly lucky to have someone with such an immense knowledge and enthusiasm in lovely Inishowen.
Looking forward to our next hike with Sharon.
As a regular walker with Sharon and Solas Ireland Walks & Hikes, I can’t recommend her walks highly enough. With varying amounts of challenge and terrain, you can choose which type of walk you prefer, though I have enjoyed them all!
