Dublin Port Greenway

The access point for the Greenway is located just off Bond Road. Car parking facilities are limited so it is recommended that you travel by public transport or active travel modes – a bike stand is located on Promenade Road in front of the new Custom House. The opening stretch is a calm, tree lined route where carefully designed planting softens the industrial landscape, offering moments of shade, colour and seasonal change for walkers and cyclists. The path then opens to the waterside offering spectacular views across to Clontarf as you reach Discovery Point 1. Continue your journey along the waterside passing Discovery Points 2 and 3 before the path ends at the Terminal Road South directly opposite the passenger ferry terminal.

Bond Road – Alfie Byrne Road (1km)

The fully segregated greenway route ends at the access point located on Bond Road. There is a foot path located on top of the embankment running adjacent to the shoreline through the East Point Business Park, you should cycle on the road – this is a low trafficked, low speed environment. You will cross the East Point Causeway and continue to the intersection with the Alfie Byrne Road. This road has a dedicated cycleway and foot path separated from the road by a raised kerb.

Towards the City Centre (2km)

You can continue your journey into the centre of the city by turning left at the Alfie Byrne Road and travelling approximately 200 meters before turning right just before the bridge to turn into the park – a protected cycleway and foot path separated from the road provides comfort to users. You will travel along a segregated path running adjacent to the River Tolka for approximately 500 meters before reaching Annesley Bridge. A dedicated cycleway and foot path separated from the road will take you into Connolly train station or alternatively you can opt to join the Royal Canal Greenway at Newcomen Bridge and continue your journey within the network

Towards Sutton (9.5km)

Turning right at the Alfie Byrne Road, you will travel 850 meters before turning right onto Clontarf Road. Stretching along the edge of Dublin Bay, the Clontarf Seafront to Sutton cycleway offers a breezy, sea-facing journey ideal for both walkers and cyclists. This flat path hugs the coast from Clontarf all the way to Sutton, delivering expansive views, seabird sightings, and fresh Irish sea air. This is a shared-use path designed for both pedestrians and cyclists – please be respectful of other users.

This route follows the coastline east to Saint Anne’s Park, Bull Island, and ultimately Sutton Cross with much of the route running adjacent to the water. You can opt to take a scenic detour by crossing the wooden bridge across to the Bull Island or alternatively, you can remain on the Clontarf Road – the latter route involves travelling on a dedicated cycleway and foot path separated from the road by a raised kerb. The path becomes segregated from the road via a low wall from St. Anne’s Park onwards until you reach St. Fintan’s High School on the approach into Sutton. A footpath and on road cycleway (with bollards) lead you all the way into Sutton village.

There are plentiful refreshment options located along this route with a wide array of cafes and restaurants as well as benches situated at regular intervals. Landmarks along the route include the historic Bull Wall, the causeway to Bull Island, and the ever-visible Poolbeg Chimneys across the bay.
