ROYAL CANAL GREENWAY

Walk or cycle the historic 130km long Royal Canal Greenway, stretching alongside the 225-year-old canal through Kildare, Meath, Westmeath and Longford.

The country’s newest outdoor adventure tourism attraction, 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 with rolling fields, historic landmarks, and an abundance of cafés and picnic spots along the way.
