Join us for a beautiful autumn hillwalk through the Dublin Mountains as we take on the Montpelier Loop at the Hellfire Club.
🥾 The Walk
Trail: Montpelier Loop – follow the Blue Waymarkers
Distance: Approx. 4 km
Duration: Approx. 1–1½ hours at a comfortable group pace
Difficulty: Moderate
Route: Loop – starting and finishing at the Hellfire Club car park
The walk follows forest roads and tracks around Montpelier Hill, with an uphill section as we make our way to the summit. Our reward is the atmospheric Hellfire Club ruins and fantastic panoramic views across Dublin City and Dublin Bay.
This is a moderate walk suitable for those with a reasonable level of fitness. Expect some uphill walking and potentially muddy or uneven ground, particularly after rain.
