April 9, 2021 – Ireland’s new scenic Royal Canal Greenway, features 130km of walking and cycling trails that pass through four counties. The trails are a great way for outdoor-lovers to see some of the most beautiful and unspoilt parts of the country.

Ideal for cyclists, walkers and runners of all ages and levels, the Royal Canal Greenway stretches alongside a historic 225-year-old canal. It begins in Maynooth and passes through Kildare, Meath, Westmeath and Longford.
