Stay

Places to Stay along St. Declan’s Way. Please note, none of these are recommended by St. Declan’s Way, they are merely provided for the convenience of those wishing to walk the path. Walkers will need to make their own investigations as to whether any accommodation suits their purposes. If you have accommodation along the route and wish to have it listed please send an email to info@StDeclansWay.ie. For those ringing from abroad you will need to add 00353 to the start of the phone numbers and drop the initial 0. 

This accommodation list presumes travelling from Cashel to Ardmore, which is recommended, as the stages become more interesting as they head over the Knockmealdown Mountains into Waterford. The five natural approximately 20km long stages along this route are:

Stage 1: Cashel to Cahir; Stage 2: Cahir to Goatenbridge; Stage 3: Goatenbridge to Lismore; Stage 4: Lismore to Aglish; Stage 5: Aglish to Ardmore.

Stage 3 is quite long, about 30km, and the first part is mountainous, so you may wish to split it into two: Goatenbridge to Mount Melleray (18km) and Mount Melleray to Lismore (12km).

The St. Declan’s Way route is indicated on the maps by a red line.
