Burrenbeo Annual Family Walk and Picnic

What to Expect

Burrenbeo Trust’s annual midsummer family walk and picnic is a warm, welcoming outdoor event set against the unique landscape of the Burren. Meeting point is at Ballyconroy, approximately 2km west of Ballyvaughan. Two guided walk options are offered: a longer uphill route over Cappanawalla mountain (starting at 2pm, requires good fitness, over rough limestone), and a shorter, gentler walk guided by a naturalist (starting at 4pm, more suitable for families with younger children). Both walks conclude back at the start point for a picnic, weather permitting.
