As the trail is one of Ireland’s most popular, you will rarely be alone while walking it. You will always meet people along the way with the only exception being during the depths of winter. As a result of this, the St. Kevin's Way & Glendalough is deemed safe for solo hikers. Furthermore, conditions at certain points along the trail can be slippery, muddy and wet so general precautions still apply. If you experience any difficulty or emergency of any kind, it is advised that you phone the relative emergency services on 999 or 112. It is also important to note that mobile phones in Ireland can call this number with or without mobile/cell coverage. For those who have fully booked their Hillwalk Tours hiking holiday on the St. Kevin's & Glendalough, we provide 24/7 on-call support to all of our customers and you will receive a detailed description on how to remain safe during the course of your hike.
