The Old Rail Trail is part of the Ireland Greenway network. It weaves its way from the bustling town of Athlone and ends in the delightful old market town of Mullingar, County Westmeath. Your journey between these two charming hotspots will be nothing but birdsong and the whirr of spokes as you whizz along on this quality 43 kilometre (27 mi) cycle path.

A fantastic restored railway line with a good quality surface. The line runs all the way between Athlone and Mullingar. Perfect for getting your a grind on! Take care as the path is shared.
