The Royal Canal




We walked the Royal canal from Leixlip to Maynooth taking in Carton House and on another occasion to the M50 overpass which is some feat of engineering! As it's a flat walk it makes for an easy walk except in wet weather where there is just mud and lots of it in places but mostly good surface for walking/cycling. The entrance to Carton house is across the road from the canal before you come to Maynooth


Leixlip Confy GAA/Carton house and back 16km.
