The Walk<\/h1>\n

Join us on Saturday, 23rd April 2022 for our annual Hike to the Hook, a 20km road walk along one of Ireland’s most scenic routes, it will start out from the majestic Tintern Abbey and end at the world-famous Hook Lighthouse.<\/p>\n

The route will take in the picturesque village of Saltmills with views out to Bannow Bay, Then on to Fethard-on-Sea, past Fethard Castle, with a rest stop and joining point at the RNLI Boat House. For those of you not ready to take on the full 20km, join here with 12.5km left to go.<\/p>\n

Walkers will then head on past the historical Baginbun, over the hill by Templetown Church, taking in the beautiful panoramic views of our coastline all the way to Sliabh Coilte.<\/p>\n

Now over halfway, walkers will pass the infamous Loftus Hall, where families are welcome to join for the final 3.5km to Hook Lighthouse.<\/p>\n

After discussions with Fethard RNLI and Tintern Trails, proceeds from Hike to the Hook 2022 are going to the Irish Red Cross Ukraine Crisis Appeal.<\/p>\n
