Greenway Cycle routes | news | Cycle Tours Ireland

There are a number of traffic-free Cycle trails across the country called Greenways. These traffic free routes are ideal for families and young cyclists. Mostly consisting of fine gravel or tarmac. A number of them run parallel with the canals or old rail trails so tend to be very flat. The following are a list of the longer Greenways.

Royal Canal - The Royal Canal is a 144km trail running from Dublin City to Clondra in Co Longford. This 200 year old route takes in some of Irelands hidden gems and is a true snap from the past.
