The Royal Canal Greenway, a scenic 130km walking and cycling amenity stretching alongside the historic 225-year-old canal, was officially launched last Wednesday morning, ahead of the summer 2021 season.
The €12 million project co-ordinated by Waterways Ireland is the country’s longest Greenway, traversing through Kildare, Meath, Westmeath and Longford.
The newest outdoor adventure tourism attraction for the country, the Royal Canal Greenway is a former towpath for barges featuring 90 bridges, 33 locks, 17 harbours and four aqueducts.
Greenway users can choose to complete the entire 130km flat, off-road trail in one visit or explore the shorter designated routes ranging from 6km to 15km between the 14 connecting access points and towns.
