We would like to take this opportunity to invite you to our Four Day International Walking Festival where you can join walkers from more than 21 countries to walk, talk and to discover and share the bogs, rivers, mountains and unspoilt beauty of the west of Ireland.

Since the beginning in 1967 the annual Castlebar International Four Days Walks have attracted walkers from every corner of the world to walk in the unique location that is the west of Ireland. Our walks offer a wide choice of routes to suit all levels of fitness. On each of the four days of the Festival we have a 10km, 20km and 40km road walk and a guided cross-country 'Ramble' that takes approximately six hours to complete.

The Festival starts on the Wednesday evening with an informal get-together where walkers can register and attend the short, but important, briefing.

The Welcome Inn Hotel on New Antrim Street, Castlebar is our headquarters for the duration of the Festival. All walks (including the Ramble) start and finish here.


Start time for the road walks:

10km, 20km and 40km road walks
8.30hrs each day

Start time for the Ramble:
Thursday and Sunday 9.00hrs
Friday and Saturday 8.30hrs

All walkers are requested to check back to the Registration desk before 16.30hrs.
