Nearly 200km of safe walking and cycling routes planned across four greenways in Donegal
Donegal County Council are consulting on four greenways in the county until Friday, June 12th 2026 all four are at the Preferred Route Corridor selection options, which will be narrowed down based on feedback.The four greenway projects are the Carrigans to Lifford Greenway, Three Trees to Carndonagh Greenway, Buncrana to Carndonagh Greenway, and Ailt an Chorrin to Letterkenny Greenway.The 18km Carrigans to Lifford Greenway is planned between Lifford and the border with Northern Ireland near Carrigans. At the border, it is designed to integrate with the Foyle Valley Greenway, providing connectivity to Derry.The 41km Three Trees to Carndonagh Greenway is planned to run from Three Trees, where it connects with the Muff to Three Trees Greenway, then continue cross-border into Derry City, as well as to local facilities within Muff.The 30km Buncrana to Carndonagh Greenway is planned from Buncrana to Carndonagh, and described as broadly following the route of the R238 regional road and the historic Londonderry & Lough Swilly Railway.The 100km Ailt an Chorrin to Letterkenny Greenway is planned to stretch from An Clochn Liath to Letterkenny, and is described as mostly following along the route taken by the historic railway.The council said that a Preferred Route Corridor has been identified for each greenway project, and its selection process is detailed within the relevant Options Report for each project. Donegal County Council said: At this early stage in project development, the Preferred Route Corridor for each project indicates a wide corridor in which a narrow greenway route is proposed to be developed. Most of the land included within the Preferred Route Corridor will not be affected by the Preferred Route of the greenway within it, and every effort will be made by Donegal County Council to minimise impacts to landowner interests.The council is encouraging members of the public to review the Preferred Route Corridors, view maps and project details, including option reports, at the websites of each greenway as follows:carrigansliffordgreenway.iethreetreescarndonaghgreenway.iebuncranacarndonaghgreenway.ieburtonportletterkennygreenway.ie IMAGE: Derry to Three Trees Greenway (Photo by Donegal County Council).
