A huge thank you to Majella and Andrew who, over the past few years, have kindly provided freshly made cordials for pilgrims tackling Stage 6 of St. Declan's Way. 🥤

Their warm welcome and refreshing stop help keep spirits high along the journey and are greatly appreciated by us

A packed path as Stage 6 hits the road.

The final day of St. Declan’s Way is underway, with walkers leaving Aglish and heading towards the coast under blue skies.

There’s a different feel to the hall this morning.

Stage 6 means the final stretch: Aglish to Ardmore, with the coast waiting at the end of the day.

For now, it’s check-in, buses, familiar faces, and one last morning on St. Declan’s Way.

A beautiful stretch through Lady Louisa’s Walk.

Our walk has opened out into riverside paths, green fields, and one of those mornings that reminds you why this route is so special.

A special start to Stage 5 in Lismore.

After a pilgrim blessing in St Carthage’s Cathedral, an overview was given of the day and thanks were shared with all the volunteers for helping make the morning possible.

Before today’s walk begins in Lismore, Stage 5 starts here in Aglish, with the people who make the day work.

The hall is full. Check-in is moving steadily. Another day on St. Declan’s Way is ready to begin.

A beautiful finish to Stage 4. From Mount Melleray to Lismore, a wonderful start to the summer season.

Leaving Mount Melleray Abbey behind, the first section of Stage 4 carries the route through the Crowhill and Melleray area, where old paths still shape the landscape.

The weather, thankfully, is still on our side as the road begins its long turn towards Lismore.

A new morning on St. Declan’s Way.

Old paths ahead, passports stamped, boots back on.

Stage 4 stretches out under blue skies as registration wraps up in lismore.

A well-earned pause at Liam Lynch Monument.

The Knockmealdowns opening around us.

A little sunshine, a little history, as Stage 3 shows its character.

#stdeclansway #irishcamino

[St. Declan's Way @StDeclansWay]

From the bustle of registration to the shelter of the trees at Knockballiniry Trailhead.

A few final words and then Stage 3 begins its climb into the Knockmealdowns.

[St. Declan's Way @StDeclansWay]

Our walkers are checking in at St Mary’s Community Centre as Stage 3 gets underway.

Before the open mountain and the long climbs, there’s always this part: the gathering, the chatter, and that low hum of excitement.
