Everything you need to know about walking Marlay Park and Kilmashogue forest with us
Our Marlay Park walks average 2–3 miles at a relaxed pace, with multiple rest points along the way. The Kilmashogue forest routes are a bit more varied—we offer 2-mile gentle loops up to 4-mile expeditions depending on the group's preference, and we always pause for scenery or wildlife spotting.
Just comfortable walking shoes and weather-appropriate clothing—we do the rest. Our guides are trained to work with all fitness levels; if you're returning to walking after a break, we've got routes that suit you. Let us know about any mobility concerns when you book, and we'll find the right experience for you.
