The English Market

Highlight • Structure

Tip by

11.3 km

A quiet, linear segment of the old railway track, precisely where the Crosshaven Railway ran along the river. The slight cut into the landscape and the open view over the water give this point a clear, linear character.

Scenic View Along Cork Greenway

Highlight (Segment) • Viewpoint

A tight, linear route along the river that follows the old track of the Crosshaven Railway. The route combines open quay areas with quiet riverside stretches, maintaining a clear view of the water throughout. The railway past gives this green path a subtle historical layer, while today it primarily forms a spacious, clear, and smoothly riding segment.

Passage West

Highlight • Settlement

This small suburb of Cork is still quite unspoiled.

Here you'll find a few shops for everyday needs, some pubs, a great playground for the little ones, and plenty of picnic tables and benches for the grown-ups. The ferry to Cobh departs very close by.

Glenbrook Ferry Ramp

Highlight • Rest Area

An open quay with a clear line along the river, once the heart of a busy port and ferry connection. The shipbuilding and trade that took place here for centuries still give the place a quiet historical undertone. This was also an important point along the Old Crosshaven Railway, whose current greenway route follows the old railway line.

Monkstown Waterfront Path

Old Bridge on the Cork Harbour Greenway

Highlight • Bridge

A compact, functional railway bridge on the former route of the Crosshaven Railway. The low stone abutments, the narrow span, and the straight alignment of the path clearly show the original track geometry
