St. Declan's Way update.
Many people have been in contact asking when St. Declan's Way will be officially open and where they can get maps of the trail. Work on the trail is ongoing with only a couple of short off road sections needing completion.. Some sections are waymarked but the trail in its entirety from Cashel to Ardmore is not yet fully signed waymarked and is not fully open. We hope to schedule an audit/inspection by Sport Ireland in the coming months. At that stage, we will make maps of St. Declan's Way available. We would like to thank everyone for their support and patience. Stay tuned to this page for further updates.
Best wishes
St. Declan's Way Management Committee.
