Greenways of Ireland: 25 Traffic-Free Walking & Cycling Trails

Ireland’s walking and cycling landscape has been transformed in recent years with new greenways springing up across the island. Following canals, rivers and old railways, these traffic-free routes offer stunning scenery and a fun day out for people of all abilities.

Greenways of Ireland is a practical guide containing everything you need to know to tackle Ireland’s greenways on foot, by bike or wheeling. It features 25 spectacular greenways, with a total distance of over 750km, spread across the island of Ireland. It includes detailed descriptions of twelve long greenways (over 20km) with directions, facilities and points of interest, as well as thirteen shorter greenways (5-19km), perfect for quick adventures.

This book also looks to the past, charting the history of the waterways and railways that have been reimagined as greenways, and to the future, exploring how the greenway network is set to expand in the coming years.
