Walks in Co Roscommon

Walking is the oldest, free and most natural form of activity, which has immense physical and mental benefits. 

We have a number of beautiful trails throughout the county. From short trails to long distance walks and cycling trails, it is easy to explore native forests that bustle with wildlife or tranquil shorelines that gently nourish our extensive flora and fauna.  Check out this video of some of the trails Roscommon has to offer.

A booklet of Roscommon Walks was developed as part of the Healthy Roscommon Plan 2018-2012.  This booklet sets out to inform you of the 16 short walks and the 2 long-distance walks which are located throughout Roscommon.  Each route has been individually mapped to note location, length and difficulty, together with facilities along the routes. 

An online version of Roscommon Walks booklet including maps is available at  Roscommon Walk Booklet

 Please wear appropriate clothing and footware.  Always wear a helmet when cycling.
