Royal Canal Greenway - Westmeath
The Royal Canal Greenway currently extends from the Meath/ Westmeath boarder to Abbeyshrule in Co. Longford. This is flat easy route which showcases the Westmeath section of the Royal Canal. It is intended that this route will be further developed as a greenway between Dublin and the Meath boarder ultimately connecting Dublin to Mullingar. From Abbeyshrule the greenway will eventually be developed westwards to Clondra. West of Mullingar it is possible to deviate from the Royal Canal Greenway and join the Mullingar to Athlone Greenway along a former railway route.

No cars, jeeps or lorries. Cattle, sheep and horses grazing in the distance. Plenty of fresh air and exercise. This is a piece of heaven on a fine summer's day. Keep the secret.
