the great western greenway

这是我在两个轮子上经历的最有趣的事情!上个周末我们从阿基尔骑车到西港,如果我能做到的话,下个周末我还想来这里。阿基尔到西港沿路的景色非常的美,如果你不想遇到大风和山丘的话,这绝对是最正确的方向!我们用的是一家当地的自行车租赁公司的车子,在阿基尔他们把车子给我们,到酒店之后他们把车子收回。

这条路挨着从西港和新港之间的主路的大部分道路。显然建设这条路花了很多的钱,它可能极大的促进了新港的经济,这条路离主路太近,这点让我们很失望。可能这条路可以通到阿基尔岛?我们没走到那么远。我们通过1号自行车路回到了西港,这次有意思多了,也更多样化了。

我们只在西港外面的林荫大路上走了两千米,在这里,我们感受到这里为步行的人们和骑自行车的人们开拓了新的生活线。我们下次来的时候会带着我们的自行车。

实在是相当惊人的成就,我们走了很长一段路,天太冷,风太大,没法骑自行车。不过,我的赛车没法在上面骑。是的,只能在坚硬的柏油路上骑,而不是夯实的砂浆路。对于未来计划再来而言,这一点有点让人失望。因此没有别的办法,只能从本地运营商那租自行车——顺便说一嘴,我问询的时候他们还是帮了不少忙。那些做到的人,恭喜你们,确实沿路上碰到很多友好的农民,如果你愿意的话,很高兴跟你聊天。

很舒适,纽波特的景色很美。从Mulranny到尔岛-一样好但是一路迎着风雨冰雹!!!然而想马上再来。

My wife and I hired electric bikes from Electric Escapes and cycled from Westport to Mulranny along The Great Western Greenway for lunch. This is a great cycle track shared by walkers. The scenery especially from Newport to Mulranny is amazing. Will return to complete the final leg to Achill. Numerous tea stops along the way.

Myself and my wife set off with intentions to cycle from Westport to Newport. This then became mulranny. Then it seemed achill was just around the bend. We stopped for coffee in achill and set about the return journey. I don't cycle, neither does my wife. Was it hard? Yes? It's a fair distance. The hot shower afterwards seemed to wash the aches away. We are delighted to have done it. And on reflection bit was amazing. We would do it again.

Stayed in Westport first week in March and found the green way on the 2nd Day. Walked down to the quay on the Sunday - worked up an appetite and then back again to walk off the lunch. Also went the other way to get to the Westpoint shopping centre and train station. During the week we found a number of off road footpaths in the town including a circular walk from the town to the Quay and back through the grounds of Westport House.

My fiancé & I are into Hillwalking so we decided to walk the greenway one day in March . We drove to Mulranny & left the car there while we walked to Achill. We met up with other walkers along the way from Dublin, Kerry & even as far away as France. There were loads of couples with families . It was great to see the babies all snug in the little carriers at the side of the bikes while the younger children cycled behind their parents, these can be rented from cycle shops in Westport & Newport at very low cost. They also have electric bikes for people who are not that energetic or They will also collect you if you only want to go one way. They have a wonderful service.! All so friendly& delighted to be out on the lovely safe walkway without any cars or danger for the children. It is so safe with beautiful scenery all along the way. At the end of the walk it began to pour down with rain. We called into a hotel in Achill to have a bowl of soup. We were so wet there was more steam coming out of our clothes than the soup we were drinking. But we really enjoyed it. Another day we walked from Newport to Mulranny. But that day we forgot to bring water & money with us but we called into a pub plus resturant in Teirinar called Navins. We explained that we were out walking on the greenway but forgot to bring money with us or water. The owner sat us down not only gave us water but also a cup of coffee & offered to give us a meal & we could pay him next time we were passing. What service!! Where would you get it? Only In the west of Ireland !!! Needless to say we have visited that pub several times since. That's the kind of friendly service that's remembered. They are the nicest couple with lovely staff. Plus a lovely open raging fire that is so welcoming there are two reviews on the wall from a pub spy who visited & he gave a raving review too. No wonder. We will be back again. Thanks for your trust & really caring service .

Loved the cycle trip westport to achill. As we hadn't been on a bike for over 20 years we were collected for the homeward trip. It was great fun. We had a fine day, the scenery was beautiful. We enjoyed it and can fully recommend it.

Took a bike ride from Westport to Mulranney the scenic view spectacular no other word to describe a must do

....To be cycling off road and away from any traffic...to be able to go at your own pace and to stop as the mood takes you....to be able to cycle two abreast and chat on the way...wonderful views and on a deserted February day the peace is palpable. The greenway is very do-able even for those who do not normally cycle as a mode of transport. Be aware that the last part of the route into Achill is on the public road as is the way into Newport...both areas could do with a designated cycle lane , after being spoiled on the greenway the change is quite unsettling!

We'd set off early from Dublin on a guided tour by our cousin out to the so called Wild Atlantic Coast. After stopping at Stokestown Park (Irish National Famine Museum) for lunch - (I know - how ironic!), we arrived in Westport in the mid-afternoon.After the long drive we needed some fresh air and exercise, and took a walk towards Westport Quay, past the Manor House (didn't want to pay to get into the walled grounds). The Quay area had a variety of restaurants, bars and cafes, which we would have visited earlier in the day. Tide was out. Cute signs of Bikes (to encourage exercise for the Great Western Greenway or did I learn there was another meaning?? Also caught the sun over Croagh Patrick (a pilgrimage site).Took the Great Western Greenway back, about a 5 mile hike, over an undulating, paved pathway, through neighbourhoods and woods. Savour the quiet, peaceful countryside! An invigourating walk! We were ready to quench our thirst at Matt Malloy's (justly famous for it's live music every evening starting at 9:30.) It's cosy and hot and authentic!

Was really taken in by such a great place to have a walk away from noisy roads so safe for families to take children for a walk and cycling there bikes. All one can hear is the birds singing and the animals in the fields its pure heaven. A must for all. Great asset to Westport well done to all concern.. Really enjoyed it will be back soon.

Do not leave Westport without renting bikes and cycling the greenway!! The cycle path is paved with only a small stretch beside the road so it is extremely safe, don't worry. Just bring plenty of water and some rain gear just in case.... I would stay in Westport just to cycle this again.
