Walk the Camino with Rostrevor's Hiking Hens!
Rostrevor’s Hiking Hens are taking on their biggest challenge to date!
↵
You are invited to join Maria, Biddy and the Hiking Hens as they take on the last 115 km of the classic French Way of the Camino de Santiago, from Sarria to Santiago de Compostela.
They will be walking through Galicia’s stunning landscapes and will follow in the footsteps of pilgrims past, passing historic crosses, statues, and grain silos along the way.
As a women’s walking group based in Rostrevor, the Hiking Hens was founded in 2021 to bring women together through hiking, friendship, and well-being. They explore the Mourne Mountains weekly, fostering camaraderie, adventure, and fun, and now they’re taking that spirit to the Camino in July 2026!
Enjoy a warm welcome upon arrival in Lugo before setting off on your self-guided journey. Travel solo, but never alone, with the support of a Uwalk tour manager and the opportunity to connect with like-minded women. Finish your pilgrimage in Santiago de Compostela, celebrate at the magnificent Cathedral, and soak in the city’s magical atmosphere before returning home with unforgettable memories and newfound friendships.
