Your adventure starts in the historic inland harbour village of Sallins.
All stops along the way are optional. You can choose to visit one or two, or simply cycle past if you prefer. The duration of your time on the Greenway is entirely up to you.
Sallins is the historic site where trade on the Grand Canal first commenced, with horse-drawn passenger and cargo barges transporting goods between the small Kildare village and Dublin in 1780.
Today, Sallins has transformed into a vibrant inland harbour village, boasting four award-winning restaurants and bars along the waterfront, as well as an array of boats, barges, houseboats, and a brewery.
