BVL Greenway finish line in sight
Some great news for the BVL Greenway as all set to be fully complete by March
We have seen great progress on the Boyne Valley to Lakelands Greenway in recent times and now we are delighted to see that the end of the line is in sight. Work on the last remaining section from Kilmainhamwood to Kingscourt is coming along nicely and is all set to be complete by the end of March. This means, of course, that the entire greenway will be done! Happy days!

The greenway, which runs for 30km between Navan and Kingscourt, has been completed in parts for a number of years, as you can see from our map below.
Councillor Eugene Cassidy, the main driving force behind the greenway, recently told us that the work on the Kingscourt end will be finished by mid to late March. You can see from the images above a lot has certainly been done! We look forward to seeing the full greenway open!
There are also a number of other exciting updates on the greenway:
- Funding secured for a new path linking the greenway from Gibbstown to Kilberry
- Kilmainhamwood village to the greenway will also have a new path
- Parking locations to be installed at Gibbstown and Castletown
- The Nobber and Castletown sections are to get new tarmac surfaces
- Planning work to begin for boardwalk over Whitewood Lough
- Signage and other facilities will be in place once the greenway is fully finished
