A fun fact about this walk is that it is the same one that Declan took when going to Cashel to visit Saint Patrick. So by walking the St Declan’s Way, you’ll be following a number of medieval routes and ancient paths.
Some of the main highlights of this wonderful route include Saint Declan’s monastery, Track of St Patrick’s Cow, Road of the Saints, Path of the Saints and St. Declan’s Road.
This is a self-guided route that you can do in all its length or just walk one section. This map includes the different sections and stops along the way. You can also join one of the St Declan’s gatherings organised every year by local activity groups.
