Dragons in the Valley – Loop Walk Achill
Valley Loop Walk Achill Sunday 9th July 2023
The Social Committee (Helen/Maura/Teresa) would like to invite club members on the afternoon of Sunday 9th July to a delightful event filled with Sea, Sand, Faeries and Folklore on the beautiful beaches and headlands of the Golden Strand Beach, Dugort, Achill Island.
If you would like to partake of a swim before the walk , please arrive At 3pm to Masterson’s Bar Car park. We will then proceed at 4pm with an enchanting one hour walk across the beautiful beaches and head for the infamous Valley House where refreshments are available. There while resting/dining you will listen to the history of the house and the area especially the tales of “The Playboy and The Yellow Lady”, a tale of intrigue, arson and murderous intent.
You can also visit the magical woodland Faerie Trail with Irish folk tales, faerie villages, faerie rings, leprechauns and much more (cost €3pp).
We will then proceed on the loop walk back to the parking area of Masterson’s Bar. The Valley Loop Walk is 8.5km and classed as easy. Please say “yes” if you would like to join us on this wonderful magical experience.
