Dromard Camino Committee and the community are looking forward to welcoming visitors to join them on a Camino walk which will take place Saturday 14th September 2024. This event will continue annually in September.
The route will take walkers on a journey around the picturesque Dromard Parish, villages and their environs and will cover 35km and an option of a 20km route.
Dromard is a rural area, set in the middle of unspoilt countryside. It is uniquely located in Ireland’s Hidden Heartlands Nestled between rolling drumlins, stunning woodlands and countless lakes and rivers and is where the three counties meet Longford, Cavan and Leitrim
Dromard 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!
Dromard is famous for all kinds of outdoor activities such as water sports, boating and is a fisherman’s paradise as well as traditional Irish music and its cultural heritage. It is a place of learning with a Community School, National School, Childcare facility, sports complex, community centre and internet hub. It’s now time to reveal Dromard’s spectacular scenery to those who haven’t visited before.
