BUNCRANA TAKES FIRST STEPS TOWARDS CYCLING & WALKING TOURISM

BUNCRANA has taken the first steps towards setting up cycling and walking routes – and bring more tourists to Inishowen.

Cllr. Mary Kelly has welcomed funding for the compilation of a strategy document for the initiative.

Buncrana Cycling and Walking group has been informed funding had been approved for a strategy document to be prepared, a study which will provide direction to the group in the areas of cycling and walking in Buncrana and its environment

This document will be a requirement to apply for future funding to programmes such as the Smarter Travel Programme.

Funding has been approved by Inishowen Development Partnership.

Earlier this year Buncrana Town Council agreed to part fund this project and we would like to thank them both for their support.

Buncrana cycling and walking group was set up over a year ago to promote and plan walking and cycling in this area.

Said Cllr Kelly: “Cycling and walking are of great importance not only for local residents but for tourism. Other areas have introduced cycling and walking projects and the success of these are to be seen around Ireland.”
