Where does Dublin Mountains Way start?
The map records the start as Tallaght and the end as Shankill.

Where this comes from

The route
The line, the name, the colour and the waymark are the OpenStreetMap relation relation/286707, and can be corrected there.
Worked out here
The measured distance, whether the line is continuous, which settlement is nearest the start and every distance on this page are this site’s own calculations from that relation, last built on 2026-09-20. No climb is measured here, and no time is estimated: a walking time appears only where an operator publishes one.
