Fundraising Walk to Omey Féichín: in aid of the Playschool Building Project
September 26 | 10:00 am - 11:00 am
€20
Omey, a tidal island accessible on foot, is a beautiful place of rock and sand and a spiritual place with secret monastic sites. Omey is home to only a few people now, but its many archaeological sites are evidence of a once thriving community, its history mirroring the many waves of change throughout the millennia. St. Féichín founded a Monastery here and his Holy Well is still venerated by local fishermen. The complex coastal Midden Sites are harrowing indications of settlement and erosion. This walk should take about 3 hours and is suitable for all age groups. Walking Shoes/boots are needed plus outdoor gear with small backpack.
Booking To: All bookings in advance to Michael Gibbons @ info@walkingireland.com, a link will be shared to purchase tickets.
All proceeds go to Clifden Community Playschool Building Project.
