August 3, 2016 by LifeandFitness

The  Croagh Patrick Heritage Trail Autumn Walking Festival is taking place over three days between 23rd-25th September.

Make a note on your calendar as this is an opportunity to get the walking boots on and enjoy the spectacular late summer views and walk this beautiful trail taking in the wild Mayo landscape, with spectacular views of Croagh Patrick along the way. The event will be of benefit to body, mind and spirit and all in a good cause, they  are partnering with the Western Care Association in their 50th anniversary year and all proceeds go to them.
