With the Christmas festivities well and truly behind us, many of us commit to a New Year’s resolution. Here’s a thought,  how about taking on a Camino and even better, how about the Killeshandra Camino in County Cavan.

Well you can, and on June 20th 2026, for the fifth year running,  the Killeshandra Camino takes place. You can select the full route of 35.5 km or you can take up the option of a 20km route –  with various starting times slots available. Killeshandra is set in the middle of unspoilt countryside and nestled between rolling drumlins, stunning woodlands and countless lakes and rivers. The Camino is organised by a local volunteer group with the aim of of supporting and enhancing the local economy with all funds raised going back into local projects. Tickets are capped at 400 people, so get booking early to avoid disappointment.
