This is the 400th anniversary of the legendary 1603 March of O’Sullivan Beara from the Beara Peninsula, West Cork to Breifne, in the Leitrim Cavan area.

Events on the Beara Peninsula Late August 2003

This famous route is being developed as a Waymarked Way for walking, cycling, heritage and clans. Seventy community groups in every town and village on the route have decided to run a chain of festivals throughout the summer of 2003.

The festivals will include:
Walking, Cycling, Heritage, Clan Events and Traditional music events

This chain of festivals is supported by Bord Failte, European Greenway Association, Regional Tourism bodies, Waymarked Ways Committees, National Heritage Council, Clans of Ireland Office, FÀS, Leader Co-ops, and all County Councils along the route.

The Heritage Council of Ireland has decided that this historic route from the Beara Peninsula to Breifne will form part of the European Greenways trail. It will be developed as a long distance walking, cycling, heritage and clans route linking with walking and cycling routes in Northern Ireland.

If your passion is walking, cycling, heritage, Irish language and Irish culture throughout the centuries, traditional music or if your surname is associated with one of the famous clan names or heritage houses along the route, please check Greenways Festival page and list of events.
