The new 2km Tolka Estuary Greenway has opened in Dublin and offers cyclists and walkers views across Dublin Bay - towards Clontarf, Bull Island and Howth Head - that have not been available before now.
You can access the new greenway via Eastpoint Business Park, with that entrance on the Alfie Byrne Road. And from there you can ride the 2km route all the way to the ferry terminals in the port.
The project is part of a wider 16km route - costing €25 million - that will see a continuous greenway opened through Dublin Port.
This new first section of the Tolka Estuary Greenway stretches 1.9km from the Port’s boundary with Eastpoint Business Park to the Irish Ferries and Stena Line check-in booths on Terminal Road.
The route required extensive coastal protection and heavy civil engineering works prior to construction and now opening. The second 1.3km section of the greenway will bring the greenway route to the most eastern point of Dublin Port overlooking Dublin Bay and a brand new 800-metre linear park.
