The Hymany Way is a long-distance trail in County Galway, Ireland. It is 50 kilometres (31 miles) long and begins in Portumna and ends in Aughrim. It is typically completed in two days.[1] It is designated as a National Waymarked Trail by the National Trails Office of the Irish Sports Council and is managed by the Aughrim Development Company Limited.[1] The trail was developed with funding assistance from the NTR Foundation, a philanthropic organisation of NTR plc.[2] It was officially opened on 24 September 2010 by Councillor Jimmy McClearn, Mayor of County Galway.[3] It is planned to extend the trail from Aughrim to Ballygar where it will join with the Suck Valley Way.[3]
Starting in Portumna, the trail follows the banks of the River Shannon before turning inland at the townland of Friarsland, near Eyrecourt, to reach Clonfert.[4] From Clonfert, it crosses bogland to the townland of Cloonascragh.[5] On the final approach to Aughrim, it passes the site of the Battle of Aughrim.[1]
