From boosting fitness to improving mental wellbeing, and even helping us in our social lives, walking and hiking offer all kinds of tangible benefits. There is no better location to enjoy this popular pastime than Ireland. We offer several experiences for unforgettable outdoor quality time and our team is happy to help point you in the right direction when taking a walk around the Ashford Estate.
Local walking guide Michael Gibbon shares his favourite routes and explains why Connemara is best explored on foot.
Take in the magnificent grounds of the Ashford Estate amidst the bounding company of our resident dogs and their handler, James, with a morning dog walk. As you meander through the lush woodlands and rolling hills of Kinloch Woods our Irish wolfhound, Mulligan, and our Irish red and white setter, Shay will guide you with affectionate enthusiasm.
Our morning dog walk takes place every Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Appropriate footwear is recommended as the terrain is uneven on the woodland paths.
Time: Please meet at reception at 8.15am
