  • Canals | GreenwayIrish Canals: History, Cycle Paths & Wildlife Guide | GreenwayHubHub

    Explore the transformation of Irish canals into scenic cycle paths. Discover open sections, routes in development, and the unique flora and fauna found along the waterways. Waterford Greenway Western Greenway Carlingford Portadown Royal Canal Greenway Grand Canal Greenway Mullingar - Athlone Barrow Way Greenway Sallins Greenway Boyne Valley Midleton - Youghal Suir Blueway Limerick Greenway Tralee Greenway Killarney Cycle Routes Ireland's Canals The two principal waterways are the Grand Canal and the Royal Canal, both running broadly east–west from Dublin toward the River Shannon. Ireland’s canals were designed in the 18th and 19th century to improve internal transport at a time when roads were poor and railways had yet to emerge. Their heyday was short lived as rail transport and road transport overtook the canals as a mode of transport. In the 20th century, the new Irish state took the forward looking decision that the canals should not be left to fall into decay, decided to restore and maintain the canals and locks. This work is carried out by the state organisation, Waterways Ireland . Though the canals never fully transformed Irish commerce as hoped at the time, the canals left a lasting mark on the landscape and on national life. Ireland’s canals today are defined today by houseboats, walkers, cyclists, pleasure craft, wildlife and heritage as by their historical role in transport. Leisure boats, cruisers, and narrowboats now glide along waterways once crowded with barges, supporting tourism and offering a slow, reflective way to experience the Irish landscape. Towpaths alongside the canals have become popular routes for walking and cycling, further integrating the canals into everyday recreational life. Along these quiet rural areas, a rich variety of flora and fauna has flourished. Reeds, sedges, water lilies, and hawthorn line the banks, stabilising the waterways and providing shelter for wildlife. Fish such as pike, perch, tench and roach inhabit the canals, while birds including swans, herons, kingfishers, and moorhens are common sights. Together pleasure craft and biodiversity coexist on Ireland’s canals, transforming them into living waterways where human enjoyment and natural life coexist. The map below shows an original image of the canal system. An original image of Ireland's canals Ireland's 2 main canals The two main canals we are concerned with are the Royal Canal and the Grand Canal. both were used in the 19th century to transport goods and animals from the the inland parts of the country to the coast at Dublin. The tow-paths which run along the side of the canals were originally used by the horses to pull the barges before motor power was invented. These tow-paths are now paved and/ or gritted with very fine stone and made suitable for cyclists and walkers. These paths represent some of the the Greenways as shown on the Main Map. The vast majority of the tow-paths are suitable for walkers but not all have been converted to fully fledged greenways suitable for cyclists. This partially explains the lack of full connectedness of the greenway as seen on the Main Map . The canals connect with rivers such as the River Shannon, River Barrow and lakes to increase the reach of the transport network. Royal Canal The Royal Canal as it leaves Dublin heads north-west, see map above. Much of the Royal Canal can be cycled as the original tow paths have been upgraded and made suitable for walkers and cyclists. It is now a designated greenway as the Royal Canal Greenway a distance of 125 Kms, starting in Leixlip through Maynooth, Mullingar, Abbeyshrule and on to the river Shannon in Co. Longford. The section from where the canal meets the sea at Spencer Dock in Dublin to Leixlip, east of Maynooth, is not yet open for cyclists. Unfortunately the section through Dublin City is only available to cyclists in short sections and is not included here on this site. Care was not taken in the past as the city evolved to keep the towpaths intact and were built upon for roads and footpaths. There are plans to complete the greenway from Dublin to Leixlip as part of a planned greenway from Dublin to Galway. Grand Canal The Grand Canal, as it leaves Dublin at Grand Canal Dock, heads south-west. It has a major junction at Lowtown which is west of Robertstown in County Kildare. Here the Grand Canal splits between the western and southern legs. The western leg which heads towards Edenderry, through Tullamore and meets the river Shannon at Shannon Harbour. The southern leg heads towards Monastrevin and Athy where it meets the Barrow River just past Athy. The image below shows the different sections. The green sections are open to cyclists, the red sections are not open and the blue section is in the construction stage. The section from Grand Canal Dock to Hazelhatch (see image below) is not yet open to cyclists. The section from Hazelhatch to Sallins and the spur to Naas is currently open, and is referenced as the Sallins Greenway on this site. However, the section between the Grand Canal Lock 12 at Adamstown in Dublin to Hazelhatch is now in construction and should be completed in early 2026. For Facebook users, see a video of a local councillor providing details. See also the notice from Waterways Ireland in relation to the works. The section from Sallins to Edenderry is not open to cyclists but there are plans to complete this section with no definite dates available yet, see note from Waterways Ireland indicating that funds have been allocated for the project. The section from Edenderry to Shannon Harbour is open for cyclists, a distance of 70 Kms. It passes through the town of Tullamore. and is referred to here as the Grand Canal Greenway The spur on the Grand Canal running south from Robertstown to Athy is open and can be cycled. It is designated, The Barrow Way Greenway and is 47 Kms distance. It joins the River Barrow further south. The sections south of Athy are suitable for walkers only with no current plans to make this section a fully fledged greenway. There have been local objections to developing the section from Athy to Waterford, believed to be for environmental reasons. As things stand it is very unlikely that the Barrow Way will join the Waterford to Dungarvan Greenway at Waterford as had been hoped. There are plans to connect the Royal Canal Greenway and the Old Rail Trail , see link here . See map below, Green, open for cyclists Red indicates not open for cyclists Grand Canal and Barrow Way Junction Canal sections Click on image to expand A living habitat Ireland’s canals are vibrant ecosystems that support a rich variety of flora and fauna. They have become a haven for biodiversity and provide habitats for a wide variety of animals, insects, fish and plants. The calm, slow-moving waters and lush banks provide ideal conditions for many species to thrive. The flora along Ireland’s canals includes both aquatic and ground plants. Common water plants such as water lilies, pondweeds, and duckweed blanket the surface of still canal sections, helping to oxygenate the water and support microorganisms. On the canal banks, reeds, rushes, and sedges form dense margins that stabilize the soil and offer refuge to wildlife. Wildflowers like meadowsweet, purple loosestrife, and yellow iris add color and attract pollinators, making canal towpaths some of the most biodiverse sites in the Irish countryside. Equally diverse is the fauna found in and around these canals. Fish species such as pike, perch, roach, and tench inhabit the waters, providing food for herons and kingfishers that can often be seen waiting patiently at the side of the canal or on overhanging branches. Moorhens, swans, and mallards are familiar sights, nesting among the reeds. Otters, once threatened in Ireland, have made a strong comeback and now frequently use canal systems as safe feeding and traveling routes. Insects, including dragonflies and damselflies, thrive around canal edges, further supporting a complex food web. Ireland’s canals are living examples of how landscapes can evolve into havens for biodiversity sustaining an intricate balance of plant and animal life. Protecting these waterways ensures that the beauty and ecological value of Ireland’s canal network will continue to flourish.

  • Bicycle Security & Theft Prevention in Irish Cities | GreenwayHub

    Protect your bike while touring. Essential tips on bicycle security, the best locks to use, and how to prevent theft when passing through or stopping in Irish cities. Theft Unfortunately this topic has to be mentioned. First, it is most unlikely that you will suffer theft of any of your belongings while cycling any of Ireland's greenways and this includes the towns and villages along the way. But for those travelling from abroad in particular, and riding their bikes through the cities, please be extra careful. In Dublin good bikes are stolen regularly and rarely are the police able to return the stolen goods. There are stories of a criminal gang roaming the streets in a van with the equipment to cut most locks in seconds. They put the bike in the van and drive off. If you must park your bike in the city please do the following. Double lock to a firm strong structure Do not leave the bike for a long period Do not leave bags or panniers on the bike Use a GPS tracker if possible If you are staying overnight ensure that the hotel or B&B has a lockup facility for your bikes. In general, just don't take risks and you are very unlikely to have your possessions stolen Ideally never leave your bikes unless locked up in a safe location.

Waterford Greenway Western Greenway Carlingford Portadown Royal Canal Greenway Grand Canal Greenway Mullingar - Athlone Barrow Way Greenway Sallins Greenway Boyne Valley Midleton - Youghal Suir Blueway Limerick Greenway Tralee Greenway Killarney Cycle Routes About this site Purpose This is a not-for-profit website designed to give those wishing to cycle any of Ireland's greenways some useful information. The site owner along with his wife enjoys cycling as a healthy pastime. There is a lot of information freely available about Ireland's greenways. However it is still difficult to discover which places are suitable for road bikes. Some greenways are better suited for walkers and/or mountain bikes and unsuitable for standard road bikes. In addition, not all greenways have been completed and some are still under construction. What information is provided The site provides information for individuals, friends and families with standard road bikes, owned or hired, manual or electric who wish to enjoy a very safe cycling experience. The site only offers paths that are roadbike friendly. Information is provided on distances, start points, end points, places to park a car and places to stop for a picnic or cafes and restaurants. information on cafes and restaurants are only provided to give cyclists information on where they can plan their stop and is not intended as an advertisement for the premises and there is no commercial arrangement between the site owner and these establishments. In addition suggestions should not be considered as a recommendation. Contact The site owner encourages users of the website to use the Contact form to upload information that will aid other cyclists to enjoy their cycling experience. This will be particularly important as new greenways are added of which the site owner may be unaware. If users find a nice cafe or restaurant that they found to be friendly or good value, please share that with others. In addition, if a business whether cafe, restaurant, bike hire facility or bike repair centre feel that they are not included on this site and feel that they are being treated unfairly, please make contact using the Contact Form. Include some details about your business and a link that users can use to access your address and services. I do not accept Facebook links as not everyone will have a Facebook login. To be very clear, businesses are only included on this site in order to provide useful information for cyclists. There is no commercial relationship between this site and the businesses included. General Warning General Warning A general word of warning about some businesses on Ireland's greenways. Businesses can pop up for some or all the summer months and then close without warning if business is poor. This especially includes bike hire businesses which can pop over night. Also pop-up coffee shops may open on specific days or at weekends only or on busy weekends or for the summer months. This can also be true of shuttle buses. It is perfectly understandable if small businesses close for periods when customers are few. I have tried as best I can to only include permanent businesses that I am confident run all year round. To be clear, just because businesses are included on this site is not a recommendation but provided to give useful information to potential cyclists. Neither am I suggesting that pop-up businesses should not be used. Many will provide an excellent service especially in the summer months and busy weekends. But beware if you are hiring bikes or dependent on a shuttle bus that you ensure that the business will be open and available for your dates. Also be careful not to provide deposits unless you are very confident of the supplier.

There is no direct rail connection between the stations but there is a separate tram line (LUAS) that runs between the stations. Passengers must exit the station to access the tram line. In the Dublin region there are three separate and distinct rail networks. 1. Main line rail (handled by Irish Rail or Iarnróid Éireann) connects to the outer suburbs, for example to Maynooth and Sallins, see Dublin Map. 2. DART (Dublin Area Rapid Transport) service which is a commuter line running along the east coast 3. LUAS (Light Rail) there are RED and GREEN lines that extend to the south and west of the city. See link for carrying bicycles on trains. It is important to book bikes on the trains especially trains not running to Cork and Belfast. On other lines there is limited capacity for bikes. Book in advance and arrive at the station early. NB: On Dublin Commuter Lines there are time restrictions on when bikes can be carried. NB: Bikes are not allowed on the LUAS tram lines at any time of day. NB: Bikes cannot be carried on buses, either dublin city buses (run by Dublin Bus) or intercity buses (run by Bus Éireann). Irish Rail staff have told us that passengers sometimes arrive with bikes and without booking their bikes in advance. They are generally not turned away but can take up the spaces that others have pre-booked. So book in advance and arrive early. It is safer to lock the bikes on the train and select seats near your bikes. Note that bikes cannot be carried on city and suburban buses. The Transport for Ireland TFI website here allows users to plan a journey on all transport service options, both rail and road, both public and private. It is not possible to book tickets on this website as it is a journey planner that includes all operators and modes of transport. It is necessary to go to the individual operators' websites to book tickets. Top
