Construction News Image
A new blueway along the River Suir in Tipperary is set to be launched this weekend.

The Suir Blueway Tipperary will showcase 53km of walking, cycling and watersports trails on offer in the area.

A series of walks and activities will take place tomorrow, Saturday 18 May, to celebrate the official launch of the blueway.

Joe MacGrath, Chief Executive, Tipperary County Council said: "We are very excited about the official launch of Suir Blueway Tipperary. The history, heritage and incredible stories along this stretch of the River Suir are as rich as you will find anywhere in the country. Creating a walking, cycling and water-based leisure amenity along this stretch of the River Suir has been a priority of the council. We believe that it will be a fantastic facility for our local communities and also enhances the attractiveness of Tipperary to both domestic and international tourists."

Walks are taking place from Clonmel and Carrick-on-Suir, culminating in a gathering in the village of Kilsheelan.

Cllr Michael Murphy, Leas Cathaoirleach, Tipperary County Council said: "Suir Blueway Tipperary will provide a fantastic facility for cyclists, walkers, and canoeists, kayakers and paddleboarders. Opening the towpath and providing people with easy access to the river means that local communities and visitors from near and far can escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy the relaxing leisure opportunities it provides.

"This weekend is all about celebrating not only the river but also the wonderful heritage on our doorstep. We hope that people will join us from all over the county and get the chance to experience what this part of Tipperary has to offer in what is one of Ireland's most lush and beautiful countryside."
