Rock of Cashel 100 Yard Uphill Trek?

You can actually drive up most of the way, drop her off with company, drive back down and park, then walk up

Perfect! Thanks much.

Cliffs = longer distance with about an easy 300 ft rise along the way. Not a difficult hike, but the path we took was not paved and was more of a jeep path.

Cashel = shorter distance, but much steeper climb. Most of the walkways around Cashel, when I went anyway, are nicely paved and a fairly easy walk as long as you can handle a rapid rise.

This is from someone who has difficulty in walking uphill when it is very steep.

Cliffs of Moher isn't too steep, some stairs but you can take your time. Be aware it may be extremely windy which made balancing a little difficult at times. Rock of Cashel is a much steeper hike uphill but shorter in length. Both places were spectacular, enjoy your trip!

Just came back from Ireland and at Rock of Cashel found that you can park for free in town shopping lot but this is a WALK. Rock parking lot I found only after going around the area a few times because I could not believe GPS that sent me through a block of what appeared to be residential terraced homes. Of course that was the way to go. Parking is not well signed. Puzzling. I am 70 and from Rock lot it is an easy walk up for me, unlike Tintagel castle in England purported home of King Arthur and knights. That was a real challenge. Pay attention to bathroom info in Ricks book on this matter. Barbara Hill

Thanks so much Philip, Mark, Rebecca and Barbara! Exactly the advice and reminders that we needed!
