Porterstown Park

Highlight • Trail

Porterstown Park on the western fringe of Dublin is a small council run recreation area. The surfaced perimeter path is about a mile long, creating a nice easy, multi-user trail for many. The park is made up of formal planting, open green space and the large running track and athletics venue (registration required to use this). There is a Saturday Parkrun and a mobile tea van.

Kilcock Harbour

Highlight • River

Kilcock sits right on the Royal Canal Greenway, making it an ideal place to break up your ride. The harbour is a scenic spot to pause, with cafés just a few pedal strokes from the water. From here you can choose to head east towards Maynooth and Dublin or west towards Enfield and Mullingar, both on flat, well-surfaced paths.
