Killeshandra Camino Committee and the community are looking forward to welcoming visitors to join them on a Camino walk which will take place on the 17th of June.
The route will take walkers on a journey around the picturesque town and its environs and will cover 35.5km.
Killeshandra is a rural village, set in the middle of unspoilt countryside. It is uniquely located in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands and within the Cuilcagh Lakelands UNESCO Global Geopark. Nestled between rolling drumlins, stunning woodlands and countless lakes and rivers, Killeshandra is a convenient base for tourists as it is within 90 minutes of Dublin Airport in the east and The Wild Atlantic Way to the west. It is also next to Ireland’s Ancient East Region. A perfect base for exploring any part of Ireland!
Killeshandra is famous for all kinds of outdoor activities such as water sports, boating and fishing as well as traditional Irish music and its cultural heritage. It’s now time to reveal Killeshandra’s spectacular scenery to those who haven’t visited before.
Killeshandra Camino is run entirely by volunteers. In a spirit of consideration and respect for environmental sustainability we encourage practising a Leave No Trace ethic.

Killeshandra Camino is a beautiful walk around the lakes and drumlins of Killeshandra. Organised by the local community, its objective is to raise funds for local projects, causes and charities. Camino roughly translates to “The Way”. So, whether you walk .5km or 35.5km that is your Camino. It’s personal and it’s not a race.
The Killeshandra Camino route will take walkers on a journey around the picturesque town and its environs and will cover 35.5km on Saturday, 17 June 2023.
This year we’ve chosen to fundraise for Cuan Cancer Support Centre Cavan, Irish Motor Neurone Disease Association and SOSAD Ireland. All funds raised here will go directly to these great causes. We hope that you can help us by donating whatever you can.
