The Hellfire Club , Dublin
Meeting time: 10.30am

The most iconic of the walks we feature, this route is for the adventurers or those with a curiosity for Dublin’s secret history.

The Hellfire Club sits atop Montpelier Hill, providing some spectacular views of Dublin city below. To get to the ruin we can either follow the wide track that spirals its way from the car park to the top or, if we want more adventurous, we can take the direct path straight up! It’s shorter, but will definitely get those lungs working 😀🥵 For more on the Hellfire story - SEE HERE

4.2 km 1 to 1.5 hours

Difficulty
The walk should be very doable for anyone with a moderate level of fitness. Do note that there’s a fair aul incline towards the beginning of the trail)😉

After the walk we can have lunch/coffe at Timbertrove's Country Store & Café See here
