Our Friday Night Dark Sky Walks are back!

BOOKING IS REQUIRED, please find all Dark Sky Walk Registration Forms HERE

Join us for a Dark Sky walk (from 6th Nov- 26th March) to reset the mind and body and enjoy nature under naturally dark skies.

If conditions allow, we will enjoy some stargazing with a tour of the night sky along the way, and a visit to a restored cottage as part of the National Park’s restoration project.

The walks are held at the Letterkeen Trailhead/cottage (Letterkeen, Srahrevagh, Newport, Co.) on the Vary’s Loop trail (2.5 km loop), with a gravel and boardwalk surface.

The duration of the walk is approximately 2.5 hours, and walkers should dress accordingly for the time of year and weather; warm clothing and comfortable shoes.

Shuttle pick-up at 7:30pm at Ned Lyons statue in Newport, Co. Mayo. Return to Newport at approx 10:30/11pm.

Common Questions and Answers can be found on the Eventbrite listing for the Walks.

BOOKING REQUIRED as spaces are limited.
