Hello

Welcome to the
Castle 2 Cave Camino

Life is meant

Things you will see along the way

You will come across several historical sites on your walk starting with the Caves of Keash, Toomour Abbey, Lough na Leibe, across to Ballinafad Castle and Lough Arrow before you return home to Keash. Along your walk you will also see the famed Carrowkeel Tombs which a cluster of passage tombs that were built in the 4th millennium B.C during the Neolithic era. Once you pass over Lough na Léibe you march on down towards Ballinafad which overlooks beautiful Lough Arrow. The 1st Marquess of Osorno who became governor of Chile and viceroy of Peru was born here. Ballinafad Castle also known as the Castle of The Curlews was built circa 1590 by Sir Richard Bingham on an ancient road that connected Ballymote and Boyle. Its purpose was to defend the pass through the Curlew Mountains. However, it needed to be rebuilt in the early 17th Century as it was partially destroyed by Red Hugh O’Donnell and his men. When walking the Camino, refreshments will be served at The Old School Community Café which is beside the famed castle. You will take off again from the Community Centre to travel the road that Red Hugh O’Donnell and his men marched on their way to the battle of Kinsale in 1601.

Testimonials

Words from our walkers

Thanks to all for an enjoyable experience. We were very impressed by the level of community involvement, even down to the additional water/snack breaks. Very well done

I have done many walks like this and I have to say it's one of the best I've done in terms of the route, organisation, signposting, camaraderie and waterloo stations etc. I will do it again next year with some of my family!

It was absolutely amazing and so well run. Myself and my walking partner will DEFINITELY take part again!
