Our slow adventure walk pick is the Milltown Woods Walk. It is a great choice for all the family to spend some quality time in nature. One simple thing to do, to go the extra mile to make it a slow adventure, is to pop your phone on flight mode for the duration. 🌲🌳🌲

Near to the town of Manorhamilton are three loop walks developed around the village of Lurganboy and Milltown Wood. The loops can either be combined if you wish to experience a slow adventure last even longer, or various parts can be followed for shorter less demanding walks. 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂️

Some of the walks have steep inclines and give elevated views over surrounding countryside. They go through forest property owned by Coillte and in some cases follow forest access roads. 🌳🌲🌳

Why not take a wander around the small town of Manorhamilton, which has great historical features such as the Manorhamilton Castle ruins, and some wonderful small businesses to peruse. 🚶‍♀️🚶🚶‍♂️

The Miner’s Way – our slow adventure walking trail pick, steeped in local history and the perfect opportunity to appreciate Leitrim’s past. Choose one section, or do it piece by piece as you dip into the paths which many miners would have taken on their way to Arigna Mines. 😌😌

By truly experiencing their journey, you will have made a conscious effort to investigate the road less travelled and to recognise a time in Leitrim and the surrounding area’s local history which is often forgotten. 😌😌

On top of all this the scenery which you will encounter, is sure to make you pause on many occasions as you marvel at the rugged and unspoiled landscapes. If not, for an occasional comfort break. ⛰⛰

You could even embrace every aspect of slow adventure, by taking the time to clear some litter from a particular stretch of road. It all adds up! 🥰🥰
