The Enchanting Royal Canal Greenway

The enchanting Royal Canal Greenway is 130km of level towpath, ideal for walkers, runners and cyclists of all ages and stages. Starting in cosmopolitan Maynooth, it follows the 200 year old canal through charming Enfield and lively Mullingar to charming Cloondara in Longford, with cafés, picnic spots and attractions along the way. Rustic and industrial landscapes combine, with rolling fields, pretty waterside villages, working locks and historic landmarks. Cycle between any of the main towns and return by train to where you started. Follow where once horse‐drawn barges journeyed and keep an eye out for hidden wildlife wonders along the way.

Approximately 22km of the Greenway is set in County Meath, with an access point at Longwood, only 10 minutes from CastleArch Hotel Storyboards and map-boards at the access points guide you along the way, with picnic areas and benches to pause and enjoy your surroundings.
