The Knocknarea 14km Walk

The Knocknarea Walk 14KM

The Knocknarea Walk starts in a very beautiful but little known spot called “the Glen” with great views over Ballisodare Bay. Next is the steady climb to Queen Maeve’s Grave high on Knocknarea, then through rolling landscape and on to the quite unique aspect of this walk – the walk to Coney Island (subject to tidal movements). 

Coney Island is 1 mile from the mainland, still has its own community and of course a little Irish Pub. On this walk there is the option to finish in the seaside village of Strandhill, Coney Island or Sligo Town centre.

Because this is a linear walk two cars are required or alternatively transport should be arranged with the hotel. 

Some of our Walking Packages include transport.

There are a number of other walks to and around Knocknarea where additional transport is not required - we will be happy to advise at hotel reception.
