Sallins
Your adventure starts in the historic inland harbour village of Sallins. All stops along the way are optional. You can choose to visit one or two, or simply cycle past if you prefer. The duration of your time on the Greenway is entirely up to you. Sallins is the historic site where trade on the Grand Canal first commenced, with horse-drawn passenger and cargo barges transporting goods between the small Kildare village and Dublin in 1780. Today, Sallins has transformed into a vibrant inland harbour village, boasting four award-winning restaurants and bars along the waterfront, as well as an array of boats, barges, houseboats, and a brewery.
A great place for lunch is Arth's Cafe, and you can enjoy free entry to the "From Malt to Vault" Exhibition at the Ardclough Visitors Centre. The Arthur Guinness Grave Museum features a mix of display boards, interactive touchscreen displays, and a short video of the nearby Oughterard Graveyard, where Arthur Guinness rests in the family vault. "From Malt to Vault" at the Arthur’s Grave Centre vividly narrates the remarkable journey of a teenage entrepreneur. This young man, whose grandfather sold beer from a donkey cart, went on to establish the world’s most renowned brewing brand.

Leisurely scenic cycle

5.00I had a wonderful morning cycling along this beautiful stretch of the canal on a sunny summer morning. Ger's tour was really interesting and he put up with all my nattering as we gently cycled alongside the canal. I hadn't been on a bike in about 10 years but the ground was flat and it was really no effort to do the 10kms round trip. I can't wait for the weather to improve and do it all again!
Fun Cycling Experience
