Limerick Greenway: A few bumps along the road for accessible adventure

"It may sound like an oxymoron, but inclusive cycling tourism also needs to recognise how our cars and our wheels go hand in hand"

Michael Hennessy-Cullen and Leona Tuck, on the Limerick Greenway

With a EuroVelo Cycling Route right outside our front door and the Waterford Greenway a short drive away, Mike and I are no strangers to the increasing popularity of cycling tourism in Ireland. 

However, despite being familiar with the greenway’s hallmark landscape of tarmacked tracks, tunnels and trees, we had yet to experience our first inclusive “Greenway Getaway” as a family. And so, when given the opportunity to travel with our French bulldog and rent a hybrid handcycle, we didn’t think twice to set off into the West, Limerick-bound with Nala in tow.
