More than a walk – an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, discover the hidden stories of Galtycastle.

More than a walk – an opportunity to slow down, breathe deeply, discover the hidden stories of Galtycastle and experience the restorative power of nature as part of the 30th Ballyhoura Walking Festival.

Hosted by Caroline Conroy, an experienced yoga and meditation teacher, holistic therapist, life coach, counsellor and forest bathing therapist, this gentle 5 km guided woodland wellness walk invites you to step away from the busyness of everyday life and immerse yourself in one of the most peaceful corners of the Galtee Mountains.

As you wander through Galtycastle Wood and make your way towards the beautiful views from Carrigeen Hill, Caroline will guide you through an experience that combines walking, wellbeing and connection with nature, while also sharing some of the stories and heritage of this special place.

This isn't about how fast or how far you can walk. It's an opportunity to experience the woodland differently, take your time and reconnect with yourself and the landscape around you.
