Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

What travellers are saying
- ailuro141 contributionsWe thoroughly enjoyed this 3.8 mile /6.1 km walk though there were more inclines than some reviews suggested. Not very steep but something to mention if anyone has mobility issues. The paths are in good condition and level from side to side, so no need for "Haggis walking"
Great variety of views, as always remember to check behind you every so often, sometimes the view backwards is noteworthy too.
We got a great day for our walk though it was the second week of October.
The free car park can be found on Google maps by adding "Benbulben Walk" There's a coach park also, lots of spaces in the car park.Written 11 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Erin_in_TexasDallas, TX35 contributionsGetting here is no joke. The roads are tiny and you feel like you're just leaving your car in a field. BUT it is soooo worth it! The signage isn't great so we didn't know if we could go through the gate or not - you can - but we enjoyed our walk anyway. It was cold and rainy and windy, but we pressed on, sharing space with all the sheep. I think part of the adventure was just not knowing where we were going or when we'd arrive. (We didn't see anyone else until we left and ran into the farmer who was tending his land and sheep.) The landscape was lovely and when we finally got to the top and found the tombs were were in awe. So impressive! We only investigated the first 2 because we were literally fighting the wind to stand upright, but it was worth it. This was one of the highlights of our 8-day trip!
(You can skip about 15 minutes of the walk each way by driving through the gate and parking a bit further up the hill. I think it took us about 45 minutes each way.)Written 20 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Then on to exploring the thousands of years old tomb. Some posted signs to help fill in the history. You can also go into the tomb and explore. Lots of spots to take great photos.Written 26 August 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
