Royal Canal Way

The Royal Canal Way is a fine walking trail that stretches over a long distance of seventy seven kilometres. This walking route is divided into seven sections. Each of these sections can be completed in a half day of walking. The Royal Canal Way starts at Ashtown and ends in Mullingar. The first section of this walking path consists of the stretch between Ashtown and Cope Bridge Leixlip Confey Station. This section is local to County Dublin in the Leinster Province. It is an easy walking route with little climbing that will involve walking over a considerable distance of eleven and a half kilometres. Healthy walkers should be able to complete this route in about three and a half hours. Most of the walking terrain on this trail consists of track. Walkers will find it interesting to know that the canal passing between Coolmine and Clonsilla was actually cut through the solid limestone of Carpenterstown Quarry. There are plenty of trees to be seen on the banks of Deep Sinking.
