Today Jennifer and I walked one of the oldest pilgrim paths in Ireland – the Saints’ Road.
It starts in a beautiful little fishing village called Ventry west of Dingle, and ends at Mount Brandon. The full path is 18kms – we only walked a section – but it was spectacular.
It was great to get out on a pilgrim path again – the weather was perfect, unusual for this time of the year, and the air was clean and crisp. Early spring flowers were in bloom along the path.
We saw a few other walkers on the path – six in total – but it was largely deserted. And this on a gorgeous sunny Sunday.
Jennifer and I are starting to figure out a Celtic Camino, which would follow these ancient Irish pilgrim paths. They have their own particular way markers –
Here are some shots from today’s walk…

It does affect you, doesn’t it. And my photos do not give any justice to how really beautiful it is here! Bill

Dear Jenny, you’re very kind but my photos in no way capture the real beauty of these places we’re visiting. I’m really not good at landscapes – and these landscapes here are truly stunning. Bill

Any cafes for coffee Bill?

Haha – yes, some nice cafes Angie, but on some of the more remote stretches there’s. Nothing. That’s what makes them very special! (they also make Irish coffee in Ireland!!)

Bill, now I’ve added another walk to my list of hikes – The Arizona Trail, The Grand Canyon, each Camino de Santiago route, The coast to coast walk in England and now The Saints Road. Thanks for showing this to me! It looks absolutely beautiful.

Hi Arlene, there ar even more spectacular walks in Ireland. The Kerry Ring trail is amazing, as is the Burren Way. Jennifer and I are going to spend the next few months going through our maps and research material and look at preparing a Celtic Camino, which will link into the Camino ingles out of Ferrol.
