Full Moon Walk from Shankill.
The walk starts from Brady’s Pub in Shankill at the sign for the Dublin Mountain Trail. We follow this trail out of Shankill over the motorway and along a quite road towards the old monastic site of Rath Michael. This is one of the oldest early Christian sites in Ireland and has some Viking tombstones called the “Rathdown slabs “.
We continue along the trail towards Carrickgollogan which is a hill overlooking the coastline of Dublin and Wicklow. The walk continues on a forest trail towards the Ballycorus Lead mines Chimney. The trail is very good easy to walk on. We then make our way back on a slightly different trail back to Brady’s Pub.
