Today I explored a short section of phase 2 ... I actually walked the full length but edited the vide to include the section from the railway bridge, with the private memorial, to Newcomen Bridge.

Phase 2 of the Royal Canal Premium Cycle Route is an urban regeneration project that delivered a critical piece of walking and cycling infrastructure for Dublin and improved the quality of life of a community in the north inner city Dublin.

By reusing a disused brownfield site and finding new purpose for an underused section of the Royal Canal, the National Transport Authority (NTA) and Dublin City Council (DCC) created an attractive walking and cycling path for locals, commuters and tourists.

The project runs from the junction of Sheriff Street, Guild Street and Seville Place north along the west side of the Royal Canal to Newcomen Bridge. It forms an integral part of the Royal Canal Greenway, which aims to provide a 26km off-road cycling and walking route from Dublin City Centre at North Wall Quay to Maynooth. It also forms part of the Galway to Dublin Cycle Route, a dedicated coast-to-coast cycleway linking Dublin to Galway and stretching 270km across the country.
