Wexford Hikes

Cahore Cliff Walk County Wexford (Buggy Friendly)

We read about Cahore Cliff Walk on Instagram. Everyone loves a good cliff walk, and we’re no different. We have previously done the Howth and Greystones cliff walks before and the kids loved them. The Cahore walk is a 1-hour drive away from our house and we snuck this walk in on Christmas eve before the Covid-19 level 5 lockdown. Thankfully, we had lots of space on the walk and everyone kept their social distance. We have previously highlighted this walk as one of the 10 best family walks in Wexford.

Cahore Beach Cliff Walk location

Cahore is about 20 minutes south of Courtown. The village of Cahore is best known as a fishing and holiday destination.

The starting point of the Cahore walk

We started the cliff walk at the pier here. There was lots of parking when we arrived but it was a cold windy December day.

As we parked at the pier and we brought a buggy with us (there are steps at the start) we walked back up the road to the strand Cahore restaurant and started our walk beside the coffee shop.

About the Wexford Cliff Walk

  • Very Good path over 2 meters wide and perfect for a buggy.
  • The walk is 2.5km out and back
  • There are Great views of the coast filled with wildlife, beach and Cahore beach
  • No large drops, it’s relatively safe for small kids
  • Food is available at the start/end. The kids loved being able to get hot chocolate at the end of the walk. We were too early for the Pizza :(
  • Lots of parking on the pier and the Strand restaurant
  • Beach section optional- You can walk down to the beach at the turn around point

  • Loop walk option is also available
.
  • Buggy Friendly- One of our children is 2 years old and is out of her hiking bag and the buggy but the buggy is still being used.

Would we recommend the Cahore Cliff walk?

Yes, this cliff walk is perfect for families, our children are 4 & 2 years old at the minute and they loved this walk. At the end of the walk, you can walk down to Cahore Beach or just return the way you came.

I am an avid hiker and long distance walker. My main passions are my family and exploring great hikes, preferably together. Some of my greatest hiking achievements are; hiking the Tour du Mont Blanc, hiking the Camino de Santiago from St Jean to Muxia and completing 29 out of 32 County High Points in Ireland while carrying my daughter.
