West Cork blueway to give water tourists ‘a new perspective’

The first blueway for people interested in watersports has been launched in West Cork, while another planned project envisages a greenway which will attract cyclists and walkers.

Cork County Council is behind the Ilen River Blueway, which has just opened on a stretch of the river from Baltimore to Skibbereen.

In terms of the planned greenway, the county council is hoping to connect two existing routes already in place adjacent to Cork Harbour.
