Benefits of Bike Hire in Waterford Greenway

Biking on the Waterford Greenway offers a number of benefits compared to other forms of transportation. Firstly, cycling allows you to take in the breathtaking scenery at a slower pace, giving you time to truly appreciate the beauty of rural Ireland. Additionally, it is a fantastic way to exercise and stay active while on vacation. Whether you're looking to work up a sweat or simply enjoy a leisurely ride, a bike tour on the Waterford Greenway is the perfect choice for those looking to enjoy the great outdoors.

How Long Will It Take to Complete a Tour of the Waterford Greenway?

The Waterford Greenway route can be done in either direction, and you can choose to do the entire 46km or just half of it, depending on your fitness level and time constraints. At a leisurely pace, the full route takes approximately 5 hours, while half takes roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. And with pitstops along the way - such as our shop in Kilmacthomas beside the favourite Greenway Grill, you'll have plenty of opportunities to refuel and take a break. 


Sightseeing & Places Not to Be Missed

The Viaduct in Kilmacthomas is a must-see, just a couple of minutes away from our shop, making it a great spot for an Instagram shot. Between Kilmacthomas and Dungarvan, you'll be transported into nature's utopia, with towering walls lined with 50 shades of green, as you go through the Ballyvoylle Tunnel and out into the fresh sea air. The beautiful seaside town of Dungarvan awaits you at the end of the journey, making it a perfect destination to end your bike tour. Here’s Waterford Greenway’s Interactive Map to get a better idea.
