The Táin Way is a 40 km circular hiking trail that starts and ends in Carlingford.

Named after the ancient Irish epic "Táin Bó Cúailnge", the route winds through the Cooley Peninsula, offering a mix of coastal views, forest paths, and mountain tracks. Typically completed over two days, the trail includes a total ascent of about 1,025 meters and is marked with yellow arrows on a black background.

Along the way, hikers encounter historical sites like Bronze Age cairns and enjoy panoramic vistas of Carlingford Lough and the Mourne Mountains. Alternative trailheads are available at Omeath and Ravensdale, providing flexibility for different starting points.

Please note that dogs are not permitted on farmland sections of the trail.
