Walking

Athleague, situated on the main road from Roscommon Town to Galway, is a centre both for walking and angling. The River Suck flows next to the village, and the Suck Valley Way shares its banks for many miles. The walk passes over ever-changing terrain, from hillside to bog, from water meadows to forest and woodland. Castles and ringforts are among the many points of interest along this unspoilt countryside. Moate Park Forest, only 4 miles away, has some lovely walks. The Suck Valley Way, a 60-plus mile round walk, comes within 4 miles of Rowan Tree House, at Athleague. The angling visitor centre, once a protestant church, provides refreshment and information about the local fishing sites.
