The project will provide a Greenway from Sligo town to Enniskillen, passing through Collooney, Ballintogher, Dromahair, Manorhamilton, Glenfarne, Blacklion, Belcoo and Letterbreen on the way.
As the project is currently at Phase 2 Options Selections, all options will be examined to determine a Preferred Option. All reasonable options are examined including their costs, benefits and effects on the environment.
The SLNCR Sligo to Enniskillen Greenway is being developed by local councils. Leitrim County Council has partnered with Sligo County Council, Cavan County Council and Fermanagh and Omagh District Council.
