A beautiful walk all along Carlingford lough. Start at The Granvue Hotel in Omeath, enjoy the beautiful scenery all the way to Carlingford, watch the cyclist's. Have lunch in The Orchard Bakery, and walk back, 15k so about four hours with lunch. If going Carlingford to Omeath, make sure to call into Cafe Rosa in Omeath for lunch or coffee and fabulous pastries.

We had an absolutely lovely cycle on the delightful Old Rail Trail. We went from Castletown Station to Moate and back. I really can't praise the powers that be enough for developing this wonderful amenity. Lovely views of the surrounding countryside and great to be out among the sounds of nature. AIt is really well surfaced and is plenty wide enough to allow faster cyclists by or to allow two way travel.

For a long time I was put off trying the GST as I had read some bad reviews mainly here saying that the surface wasn't good and that the scenery was poor and that it wasn't worth it . I eventually made it down there yesterday and after doing both the waterford greenway and the Great Western Greenway this summer I have to say the GST was my favourite of them all . The GST has a lovely wildness to it and is a little more unkempt and overgrown than the other more manicured greenways , this gives It a much more natural feel and travelling it is much more of an organic experience than the others . It cuts through lush meadows full of buddhist cows and by fields of barley reminisce of Russel Crowes Gladiators dreams of home . It skirts alongside a load of quaint rural towns so there were plenty of opportunities to grab coffees or pints . It's much less well known so its a lot quieter and uncrowded than the other costal greenways. Surface is paved in some parts and looser gravel or bohereen in others , we got on fine with Tyre size around 32 - 35c . Irish people have this thing about cycling skinny tyred road bikes everywhere they are not meant to be cycled especially with our roads being terrible ,then they declare the surfaces that they cycled there bum rattling 23c tyres on poor , but that's for another rant. Poor views ? Our eyes feasted on mountain vistas and across plains of beautiful farmland .Maybe those who complained were too short to see over the hedge . There are plenty of relics of the GSTs former life as a railway line which are put to good decorative effect . This greenway has loads of potential and is a bit of an under promoted understated gem . Get down there and take a spin to clear your head and get back to nature .Well worth checking out .

A nice circular walking loop along the water in Adare. I had to ask directions at the Heritage Centre on how to get on the walking path. It took about 20 minutes and it was basically a flat path, so not physically taxing. Good views of some of the buildings in the town. Supposed to be some wildlife in the area of the loop, but we didn't see any during our walk. Enjoyable, particularly on a nice day.
