Our Donegal Way tours follow in the footsteps of ancient pilgrims on the Sli Colmcille, a trail tracing the life of St. Columba, and conclude with an optional walk on the Sliabh Liag Pilgrim Path. Consider adding The Lough Derg Pilgrim Path, which retraces the steps of medieval pilgrims with views of Saints Island and Station Island, home of the legendary St. Patrick’s Purgatory.
While the Wicklow Way and St Kevin’s Way both traverse the Wicklow Mountains, they are distinct trails. However, they do intersect at Glendalough, a significant spiritual and historical site for both. Many hikers combine sections of both trails to create a unique and fulfilling journey through the Wicklow countryside.
Our Dingle and Kerry Way tours offer glimpses of monastic ruins and the chance to climb sacred mountains. On the Kerry Way, discover Cnoc na dTobar, an ancient site for pagan rituals which merged with Christian traditions and was marked by the addition of Stations of the Cross and a well dedicated to St. Fursey. Along the Dingle Way, you have a chance to walk Cosán na Naomh, the Saints’ Road, and experience the pilgrim path on Brandon Mountain.
There are countless other sacred sites and pilgrimage trails waiting to be explored. We can customise your tour to include iconic mountains like Croagh Patrick, or follow in the footsteps of female saints on St Brigid’s Way. For a journey through history, discover the St Finbarr Pilgrim Path or the lesser-known St Declan’s Way. Let us create a bespoke pilgrimage walking tour for you.
Northern Ireland offers a unique pilgrimage experience, both for its ancient sacred paths and turbulent history. Retrace the footsteps of St Patrick on the renowned St Patrick’s Way and spend time learning of The Troubles and Northern Ireland’s complex relationships with religion and politics.
