St. Declan’s Way 2023 – Gift Tokens
We are delighted to announce that the Knockmealdown Active group will walk all five stages of St. Declan’s Way once again in 2023. Booking will open in mid-January 2023. Keep an eye on the St. Declan’s Way Facebook Page for updated information.
In the interim, Gift Tokens are available here if you would like to give a gift of a single stage or, indeed, all five stages to someone.
Download templates for Deferred Sending or Printing
It is possible to send your token/s to the intended recipient at a time of your choosing, rather than immediately from the system. To do this you should send the token to your own email address (make yourself the recipient). You can then download one of the templates below, input the recipient’s name, your name and the Coupon Code (which you’ll have received by email). The templates are in Word format. When you’ve inputted the information go to File > Export and create a PDF file. This PDF can then be sent from your computer via email or printed and physically sent by post. Each template has instructions on page 2, remember to delete this second page before you save the PDF.

Keep it Local this Christmas
All funds raised by Knockmealdown Active’s five stage walk from Cashel to Ardmore are funnelled back into the communities along the route. The group does this by sourcing everything needed to run the walks locally and investing in upgrading the route and infrastructure.
