Siul Eile

Walking with Friends

Step in.
Surprise Yourself.

Siul Eile are rural communities coming together to form walking programs and challenges using the under-utilised local environment in their own community.

Siul Eile walking programmes are a great way not only to get active, but mainly to meet your neighbours and discover parts of the community you rarely if ever visited before.

R

Get Active

Walking is one of the simpliest activities, suitable for nearly everyone.

w

Meet Your Neighbours

Meeting people from your community is really important – and it is about more than just saying ‘Hi’.

U

Discover

There is history and natural beauty all around us in our communities that should not be overlooked.

Liam Fleming expains what Siul Eile is about, how it started and also how it impacts local communities:

Our Forgotten treasures…

We have so many beautiful places on our doorstep – fascinating local history and mesmerising natural beauty – all waiting to be rediscovered.

Here are just a few examples:

Beal Lough

Beal Lough is a popular spot for all levels of walkers. Family walkers come in their droves, park in the car park and take the 1km path down to the lake. Those looking for a strenuous test, can cross the road from the car park and take on the Sugarloaf Peak and can go a little further to get to the high point of the Knockmealdowns which is also the highest point in Co.Waterford. Beal Lough turns into a purple wonderland towards the end of May/start of June as the Rhododendrons come out in full bloom and turn the whole valley into a spectacular natural explosion of colour.

Mountain Lodge, Glengarra Woods

Viscount Lismore erected a lodge, known as the Mountain Lodge during the nineteenth century. This stunning hunting and fishing lodge is sited in a beautiful location. It is currently being restored through the efforts of the local Burncourt community.

Clogheen Loop

This loop crosses the lower slopes of the Knockmealdown Mountains above the village of Clogheen and the River Duag. It follows road and forest paths, passing Reigh Cemetery. There are fine views of the village and its surrounding area.

In these unprecedented times, where many of the things we took for granted a few short weeks ago like visiting a friends or family house, going to or participating in a sporting fixture, even heading to the church or pub are out of bounds these days. All that is left,...
