Countryside and Greenways
Countryside and Greenways Tours
It’s back to the future, revisiting the 18th century canal towpaths. Back then it was horse drawn barges and now they are beautifully repurposed greenways just waiting to be explored on foot or by bike. No better way to get away from it all than a bike ride along the many greenways and quiet country paths of counties Dublin and Kildare.
Choose one of four fantastic guided bike tours to suit your desired duration and levels of fitness and experience. All of these tours venture off the beaten path where you will discover places you may never know existed, and stories you may never have heard before.
