Itinerary description
DAY 6 - Moyne - Shillelagh
Start: Moyne, Kyle Farmhouse
End: Shillelagh, Central House Bar & Lounge
WICKLOW WAY'S PROGRESS: |################____| - 88 %
Hike Description - From Wicklow Way Official Website:
From Moyne, the Wicklow Way follows an easy walking path round the base of Ballycumber hill and Coolafunshoge to reach (and briefly follow) the busy road from Hacketstown to Tinahely at 95km. This makes an ideal stage-end for those who broke the journey at The Iron Bridge.
The colourful array of wild flowers along the hedgerows is a sheer delight from here to Clonegal as each jostles for a maximum share of sunshine.
A leafy green road contours the lower slopes of Muskeagh Hill and onwards to Mullinacuff and Stranakelly cross roads. Here Tallon's Pub, it's known to all as 'The Dying Cow', provides a perfect excuse for a thirst-slaking pint to celebrate crossing the 100km line at Mullinacuff.
A further 6km brings the Wicklow Way to the busy R725 road to Shillelagh. However, if planning to stay in Shillelagh, a busy road-walk is avoided by remaining on the Way as far as Raheenakit Forest, then taking the minor road via Ballard Cross to reach the village.
