Ireland has just introduced an all new adventure for its tourists. The country has launched a 130 km walking, and cycling greenway through its amazing landscape. It is being called the Royal Canal Greenway, and it is located along a historic canal that is 225 years old. The canal begins in Maynooth, and it goes through Kildare, Meath, Westmeath, and Longford.
Ireland’s great outdoors are just perfect to explore for travellers, and this all-new Greenway is all about that. With scenic destinations all throughout the ride, you can expect a wondrous experience. There are charming villagers, historic destinations, beautiful landscapes, and even picnic spots. It is just the most amazing place for cyclists, and walkers, or even runners.

It has been a relatively positive week for Longford. The Royal Canal Greenway is a €12 million project that will enhance the county’s tourism offering and an influx of visitors is something to look forward to whenever Covid-19 travel restrictions are relaxed.
On Monday morning, the National Transport Authority announced €2 million for cycling and walking infrastructure projects across county Longford under the Active Travel Scheme.
General projects include the reallocation of overall road space for segregated cycling lanes and widened footpaths, basically initiatives that will encourage us to abandon our cars.
