A gentle Greenway going straight across flat countryside

The Midleton Youghal Greenway is a superb addition to Tourism in East Cork, not only is it beneficial to people living in both towns, the fact that it starts from Midleton Railway Station puts it on the doorstep of everyone living in Cork City, as well as those living in places like Glounthaune on the railway line. From Midleton, the Greenway travels East with nice mature trees along the way. There are toilets at the old stations in Mogeely and Killeagh, both location having coffee shops open a lot of the time. As the title suggests the Greenway travels straight across flat countryside. In May we had a bit of a headwind going east, but then of course a tailwind returning east.

Very enjoyable

Really enjoyed this. I hired bikes from Cork Bike Hire in Midleton. The guy working there was so friendly and chatty. The only issue is that the entry to the greenway is on the other side of Midleton which takes about 20 mins to walk to. Doing this with children is difficult, the traffic in town is always busy so cycling it with children is not an option. The route could do with more distance markers, otherwise it’s a really enjoyable thing to do ,

Great cycling experience from start to finish

The experience from my query with Deirdre by phone to collecting our bikes was fantastic. The care and attention given was wonderful. Our cycle was so much fun, we will certainly be doing it again with family and friends.
