A Legendary Stop on the Wicklow Way

The Dying Cow Bar is ideally located just 25 km from the southern end of the iconic Wicklow Way, Ireland’s oldest long-distance walking trail. Stretching 137 km from Marlay Park in Dublin to Clonegal in County Carlow, the Wicklow Way takes in some of Ireland’s most breathtaking scenery—mountains, valleys, forests, and rolling farmland.

Whether you’re walking the full Wicklow Way or exploring a local section, The Dying Cow welcomes all who wander.

A Welcome Detour on the Wicklow Way

Nestled near the trail between Tinahely and Moyne, The Dying Cow is a beloved stop for hikers nearing the end (or just beginning) their journey. With its warm hospitality, hearty food, and a pint by the fire, it offers weary walkers a well-earned break and a taste of authentic rural Ireland. Many call it the most memorable detour of the whole route.
