A walk with a view

Once you’ve fueled up and are ready to go, a fun thing to do with kids in Strandhill is to tackle the recently launched Queen Maeve trail, it takes walkers up the northern slopes of Knocknarea, along a raised boardwalk or ‘bog bridge’ to the summit.  Along the route are abandoned stone cottages, with stories to tell. There are several child friendly walks in the area, read about them here:
