Ireland's Greenways, Blueways and Bridleways

[PhattPike]

Is that more of a hiking trail than a greenway?

Mary McAleese took Leo Varadkar for a stroll on a stretch of it on one of those programs she did. Not a bad show.

I know where I’d like to take the cunt

[Little_Lord_Fauntleroy]

Great news, absolutely love it up there

@PhattPike

Would be more interesting than cycling from Rathkeale to NCW anyways

The Rathkeale one will eventually bring you as far as Fenit, you should be able to get as far as listowel by the end of next year

I want to bring the nephew to the Waterford greenway mid august. Should we land at Waterford station with bikes and go up and back to dungarvan? Are there a few spots you can go off-road @Fagan_ODowd ?

[habanerocat]

There’s a nice coffee shop at Kilmacthomas. There’s probably a fairly full day depending on train times to do it all the way and back. Spending a bit of time in Dungarvan.

Yes you can do that. The Greenway starts just across the bridge though that first section isn’t the most appealing. It would be a long owl spin to Dungarvan and back in the one day, 30 miles out and 30 miles back. You couldn’t go that fast because of the numbers on the track. The best section is the 15 miles from Kilmacthomas to Clonea. If it was me I’d drive to Kilmacthomas and do that section and back.
It’s all off road by the way.

Spectacular

[habanerocat]

Lovely, but where is it?

[TreatyStones]

Barnagh Tunnel.
Between NCW & Templeglantine

I met a lad from Swords recently, and he said it was the most boring Greenway in the country. I told him a relation of my mother’s was involved in getting it off the ground, and he said there was fuckall to look at

[NYGiants]

Does he want us to build a coastline

Ya it’s a fair enough assessment. That stretch from Barnagh Tunnel to the Station is class, but outside of that there isnt much else to see. The problem with the old rail lines is they generally had high banks obscuring the view.

Some big thick Kerry farmer will probably rather go to jail. I’d guess he’s claiming a right of way that he never had given it’s all old CIE land

This will be class when done

Some part of the country. Savage potential.
