The potential for rural tourism along a proposed Greenway between Mallow in north Cork and Dungarvan in west Waterford is huge but the project is also likely to cause difficulties for those who farm along the 77.35km route.

The walking and cycle path would link the towns and villages of Cappoquin, Lismore, Ballyduff, Clondulane, Fermoy, Ballyhooly and Killavullen generally following the old rail line between Mallow and Dungarvan, an area rich in natural beauty and historic sites, bordered by farms and woodland.
