Active Travel: Cabinteely Greenway Consultation Now Open

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council is proposing to develop the “Cabinteely Greenway”, a walking, cycling, wheeling and public realm improvement scheme.

The Cabinteely Greenway aims to develop a safe, accessible, and attractive route for walking, wheeling, and cycling between Cornelscourt and Cherrywood. 

Stretching for 2.3km, the Greenway will offer a route through Cabinteely Park and surrounding areas, carefully designed to sit sensitively within its environment. 

By upgrading and enhancing existing paths, the project will have a minimal impact on traffic while providing a high-quality, largely off-road experience for people walking, wheeling and cycling. ​

The proposed Cabinteely Greenway aims to improve active travel options for daily commutes, short local journeys and trips to nearby schools, and create opportunities for outdoor leisure and recreation.

What is the proposed route?

The scheme from end to end is approximately 2.3km in length, and the route will consist of four distinct sections:

Section A: Cornelscourt Village to Glen Lawn Drive

Section B: Glen Lawn Drive to Cabinteely Park

Section C: Cabinteely Park plus a connection to the N11 via Clonkeen Road

Section D: Brennanstown Road to Cherrywood Green Routes Network

What benefits will the Greenway bring? 

• Improved walking, wheeling and cycling connections between Cornelscourt and Cherrywood​ 
• Safer local journeys for people of all ages and abilities, especially near schools​ 
• Healthier travel options for short local trips 
• Reduced car dependency and support for climate action targets​ 
• Enhanced accessibility to public transport ​ 
• Improved access to green spaces and nature​
