National Famine Way

An adventurous 165 km cross country trail that mostly follows the Royal Canal as it weaves through country lanes, villages, towns and city - can be done in sections over time or all at once - as you choose. Follow the story of Strokestown's Famine Emigrants as our interactive bronze shoe sculptures creates a thought provoking experience, on this commemorative cross country walk. The trail is topped and tailed by two iconic museums - €œThe National Famine Museum€ at Strokestown Park and €œThe Jeanie Johnston Famine Ship€ / €œ EPIC - Irish Emigration Museum€ at the Dublin end.
