Lovely walk, 11km return on my fitbit, took 2hrs20m and we stopped twice for approx 4 mins each time.Park at the 'paid' parking as nearest to starting point. Nearest toilets is Marble Caves 1 min by car. The walkway is gravel for 3km until the boardwalk. The wood is not slippy in wet weather as they have chickenwire stapled on it which is a great idea.

Excellent trek , great scenery . Was running late so emailed John, very understanding. Always pre-book bottom carpark as is an extra few Kms from the other carparks in the area. Boardwalk is great on a sunny day and the last part is tough but really doable when you take your time

Highly recommend hike/walk. Parked for 5stg close to the gravel path that leads to the boardwalk. Take your time, appreciate the fabulous views along the way and getting to the top will be OK! Very steep steps but all , young and young at heart, managed it!

It is a steep, moderate hike to get to the top. Took us 2 hours 45 minutes, great walk and hike, well worth it for the view at the top. The landscape is exposed and was quite windy so dress appropriately especially if the weather changes. We parked at the car park with the brown sign saying cuilcagh boardwalk. It is £5 which is closer for starting the walk. Would highly recommend this walk, challenging but lovely view at the top.

Highly recommend the Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail also known as Ireland’s Stairway to Heaven, it is a must visit if you in Northern Ireland. It is situated in the beautiful Cuilcagh Mountain Park in County Fermanagh. It is the most fabulous boardwalk hike with incredible views and a picturesque wooden walkway. The Stairway to Heaven title arose from the final section of wooden steps that climb to the summit of Cuilcagh Mountain and its panoramic viewing deck. The views from the top are truly spectacular. The hike is achievable for anyone of moderate fitness and we met people of all ages and fitness levels at the top of the boardwalk. Myself and my husband done the trail last week and my husband lost a new digital watch, we want to honour the Sheridan Family John and Ken for returning my husbands watch, they found it, let us know straight away and kept it safe for him. We were so thrilled and so lucky to get the watch back and we are so grateful. Its reassuring for tourists to know that if they happen to loose something on the walk there is a good possibility of getting it back and that cannot be said for many places, well done Stairway to Heaven

Do not underestimate the steepness of this walk. The uphill gravel path is challenging and once you hit the boardwalk, whilst it does then get easier, there are circa 500 steps when you hit the wooden railings. The views at the top are breathtaking and do make the trek feel worthwhile. Make sure you have some water and are wearing comfortable shoes. Parking is £5€6. Completed for the first time October 2023, said never again, but we did it again September 2024. It didn’t feel any easier.

A very strenuous hike with some good views on a clear day. Good footwear, suitable clothing and refreshments are needed. Free car parking is available at The Marble Arch Caves or the nearby Cuilcagh Boardwalk Trail toilet facilities and picnic area although both require some road walking to reach the start of the trail. Or you can pay £5 / €6 cash to a local at the start of the trail to park there. There are no toilets along the trail route. Overall, most people will get a sense of satisfaction after completing this tough walk.

Took to the hiking trail on the Stairway to Heaven and WOW what a tremendous hike. Started off in the free parking area and had reserved our time for arrival. The day was cloudy, drizzly with a bit of wind - but being dressed for this "epic" Irish weather made all the difference. We both are over 60 and appeared to be the oldest out on the trail this day - a Sunday. As you start the trail we looked all the way across the bogs thinking "we have to walk all the way over there?" Couldn't see the top of the mountain due to the fog so knew this was going to be special. After a couple miles we made it to the boardwalk and the hike continued. It was amazing to see how the stairway just disappeared into the clouds as you climbed. At the top we had a view of about 20 meters - so no awe inspiring vistas. But it was still quite glorious. 15 miles round trip from the free car park. Great adventure. Mark this off my bucket list as I'd had cancer this past year and didn't know if my stamina would hold out. It did without a doubt and my spouse and I talked about this hike throughout the remainder of our time on the Irish Isle and to this day. Craig/Kristen, Nebraska, USA, Nov. 3, 2024.
