SUMMARY:National Famine Way Remembrance Walk
DESCRIPTION:  \nWould you like to walk the National Famine Way? \nThe National Famine Way Remembrance Walk is a nine-day\, supported commemorative journey retracing the 165 km historic route followed in 1847 by the 1\,490 men\, women and children who were marched from Strokestown to Dublin as part of assisted emigration during the Famine. \nThis is a structured and dignified act of reflection\, crossing six counties from the west of Ireland to the east. The route follows mostly flat terrain\, winding through quiet countryside\, canal towpaths and historic towns and villages along the Royal Canal Greenway. \nThe walk begins with a traditional Canadian Wake on the 16th May at 7pm in the Vaulted Stables at Strokestown Park \, a farewell gathering once held for Irish emigrants leaving for North America. All are welcome to attend the Canadian Wake. \nThe Canadian Wake will feature music\, storytelling and a moment of reflection as we remember those who made the journey before us. \nThe Remembrance Walk will conclude with a Completion Ceremony held at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum in Dublin\, symbolically linking departure and arrival. \n***Participants may walk the full route or selected sections with local events and community engagement taking place along the trail.*** \nHow to Take Part\nYou can take part in a way that suits you: \nWalk the Full Route\nJoin the complete eight-day walking journey and take part in the full commemorative experience from Strokestown to Dublin. \nJoin for a Day or Section\nTake part in selected days along the route and experience the walk within your own time and pace. \nWhat to Expect\n\nDaily walks of approximately 18–25km\nA mostly flat\, accessible route\nShort historical insights shared along the way\nOpportunities to connect with local communities\nInformal evening gathering points with music and reflection\n\nThis is not a sporting challenge\, but a shared and reflective experience grounded in history and place. \n
