Achill Sound to Cashel Section

Great Western Greenway, News Item
5km - multi-use

The World Class Great Western Greenway (Westport – Achill Sound – Cashel) is mainly a 48.5km traffic free cycling and walking facility which primarily follows the line of the famous Great Western Midlands Railway, which closed in 1937. Its development has been made possible by agreement of local landowners who have allowed permissive access to users to pass through their lands. This route offers gentle gradients and some of the most idyllic scenery in the west of Ireland.
