Dublin-Galway Greenway, Cross-country cycling path between Dublin and Galway, Ireland
The Dublin-Galway Greenway is a cycling and walking path that stretches 270 kilometers from Ireland's east coast to its west coast. The route winds through farmland, villages, and towns with separated tracks for bicycles and pedestrians.
The route was first proposed in 2012 as a way to connect Ireland's east and west coasts. Since then it has been developed in phases, with different sections completed over time.
The route passes through small towns and villages where you can see how daily life unfolds in different Irish communities. Locals and visitors mix on the path, creating a shared space for movement and connection.
The route is divided into sections, allowing you to ride individual segments or complete the full path. Resting spots and signs guide you along the way, and most towns on the route offer accommodation, food, and other services nearby.
The path is part of EuroVelo 2, a long-distance bicycle network that stretches from England across Europe. This connection makes the greenway part of a larger international cycling system rather than just an Irish project.
