On the first weekend of August 2020, the inaugural Camino Mhacha was held, a 25.5 mile walk through a land steeped in myth and legend. Following in the footsteps of Cú Chulainn, Camino Mhacha begins in the Ring of Gullion, a designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty with walkers departing from the village of Mullaghbane. Winding its way through glens and hills, the Camino follows a route of stunning landscape and natural beauty culminating in Armagh City, where a heroes feast awaits walkers at Aonach Mhacha. Now an annual event, Camino Mhacha is organised by Aonach Mhacha, the new Irish Language and Cultural centre in Armagh and funds raised through the registration fee will contribute towards the ongoing development of the centre. The registration fee of £120 will cover the cost of light refreshments along the route, the heroes feast in Armagh on finishing the Camino and a commemorative Camino Mhacha t-shirt. Individuals not precluded from raising money. Individually walkers can consider Aonach Mhacha as their designated charity of choice, however fundraising for other charitable causes is not precluded. Spaces are limited for the 2022 event and you are encouraged to register early through our website here:
