About these directions

Public transport times come from National Transport Authority. Timetables cover 2026-09-18 to 2027-09-19. These are scheduled services; check with the operator for cancellations and changes before travelling.

Walking and driving times are estimates. A town search starts at its centre; choose your location or a point on the map for a more precise starting point. Eircode search is not available.

Questions people ask

How long is Red Walk?
Measured along the line OpenStreetMap draws, 1.6 km. No published figure has been found for it.
Where does Red Walk start?
The map does not name a start. The line begins 2.1 km from Kells, which is where the map is drawn from rather than a waymarked trailhead.
Why is the line broken on the map?
The route comes back from OpenStreetMap in 2 pieces, which means the ways somebody drew for it do not meet end to end. The gaps are left as gaps here rather than bridged with a straight line, because a line drawn across a gap is an invitation to walk where there is no path. On the ground the route is almost certainly continuous; the map is what is incomplete.
Is it open today?
This page holds no closure notice for it, which is not the same as knowing it is open. Cliff paths and forest routes close after storms and during works, and those notices are published by the operator rather than on the map. The link above goes to whoever manages it.

Where this comes from

The route
The line, the name, the colour and the waymark are the OpenStreetMap relation relation/17543098, 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.
