Looking for a refreshing way to stay active, connect with others, and enjoy breathtaking scenery? The Benburb Priory Walking Group meets every week to explore the historic grounds of Benburb Priory, offering locals and visitors alike the perfect blend of exercise, community, and natural beauty.
Nestled along the River Blackwater, Benburb Priory boasts acres of serene woodland, rolling meadows, and peaceful riverside trails. Mature trees, seasonal wildflowers, and sweeping views of the surrounding countryside make every walk feel like a retreat for the mind and body. Whether you’re an avid nature lover or just want a calm escape from your routine, the Priory’s grounds provide the ideal backdrop.
Walking isn’t just great for your physical health — it benefits your mental well-being too. Here’s why our group is so popular:
Boosts Fitness Naturally: Gentle, regular walks improve cardiovascular health and stamina without the intensity of a gym workout.
Builds Social Connections: Meet like-minded people, share stories, and enjoy friendly conversation as you stroll.
Reduces Stress: Immersing yourself in nature lowers stress hormones and enhances mood.
Encourages Routine: A set day and time makes it easier to stay consistent and accountable.
