The Blackwater Way

The Blackwater Way comprises the Avondhu Way and the Duhallow Way and is a 168km (officially) long distance walk that starts in Clogheen, Co. Tipperary and finishes in Shrone, Co. Kerry. It took us nine days to walk this, with plenty of coffee breaks and photo opportunities.

Note: By the time we took in small detours to picnic spots and sights of interest, we had clocked up another 12 km.
