GREENWAY PROJECTS WHICH INTERSECT
Following the old ‘Derry Road’ line, this potential 60km greenway would run from Omagh through Strabane and along both banks of the Foyle into Derry.
A walkway along the old Strabane Canal from Strabane town up to the River Foyle near Cloghcor.
Two neighbouring towns and three converging rivers, a cross-border greenway project being supported by EU funding to link Strabane with Lifford.
