Dun Laoghaire to Killiney Hill Park Loop

Lovely loop for a clear summer's day. Perfect for a family day out and some snacks at the top of the hill.

I've recorded this trail! Part 1 - Shankill to Fairy Castle https://youtu.be/f2Ixi7rj7V0?si=nbVBLmfUiTi48nlY Part 2 - Fairy Castle to Glensamole Valley https://youtu.be/RQcrTKsivjA?si=cLqa7BDVzQlKpuiq The DMW was the first waymarked trail that I completed. I did it over 2 days - Shankill to Fairy Castle, and Fairy Castle to Tallaght. Transport for Day 1: handy public transport options. The Dart and Dublin Bus (145) service Shankill. There's a bus that only goes on weekdays from Glencullen to Dundrum after your obligatory pint and food in Johnnie Foxes! I recommend going past Glencullen on Day 1 and heading up to your well deserved views at Three Rock, before doubling back to Glencullen to exit. Transport Day 2: That weekday bus from Dundrum to Glencullen will get you right back, and you'll go all the way to the end in Tallaght, where you can get the Luas or Bus back to the city. Day 1 is lovely. The part from Shankill to Ballybetagh is great. Do be wary of the road section between Ballybetagh and Glencullen - it's long, there's no path, and some blind corners. However, the forests at Rathmichael, Carrickgollogan, Barnaslingan and Ballyedmunduff are incredible. Day 2 is a longer one,and has a frustrating mix of incredible mountain sections, gorgeous forests, and endless road sections! I don't recommend taking the spur to The Hellfire Club (unless you've never been) - it adds a bit more kms and time. Lots of downhill road sections heading towards Bohernabreena - this can be taxing on the knees, I'd recommend hiking poles here if you usually use them.

Lovely trail. I included this with Rathmichael Wood, which can be easily accessed by public transport to Shankill (Dart or bus). Follow the Dublin Mountains Way from Brady's in Shankill.
