Welcome message

Thank you for taking the time to visit our online public consultation for the Fingal Coastal Way

The Fingal Coastal Way is a proposed greenway extending from Newbridge Demesne in Donabate to the Fingal county boundary, north of Balbriggan. The overall length of the scheme will be approximately 32km, depending on the final route selected.

The objective of the project is to deliver a safe, attractive, first class coastal pedestrian and cycle route. The route is to be predominantly a leisure and tourist amenity but will also serve as a local commuter route.

The Fingal Coastal Way is envisaged to be a flagship scheme for tourism in the county with the potential to promote and enhance the local tourist economy.

Fingal County Council has now published the Emerging Preferred Route for the Fingal Coastal Way and we are seeking your input.

The scheme is being progressed from initial feasibility through to the planning stage. Since undertaking the first round of public consultation in November 2019, which introduced the scheme to the public and focused on constraints and opportunities, we have taken on board the many comments received from the public, developed the long list of route options and undertaken the Stage 1 assessment of these routes which has led us to the publication of the Emerging Preferred Route.

What's happening now?

The Emerging Preferred Route was published on Tuesday, 25 October 2022 on Fingal County Council’s website https://consult.fingal.ie/en/consultation/emerging-preferred-route-fing…;
