North West Network Greenway – Strabane to Castlefin
Castlefin 
Overview
The Strabane to Castlefin Greenway is part of the North West Greenway network, an ambitious vision that aims to deliver an entire network of walking and cycling infrastructure in the border region between County Donegal and Counties Derry and Tyrone. This 10- kilometre cross border route connects the towns of Strabane, Lifford and Castlefin and runs primarily adjacent to the N15. This route offers a mixture of urban and rural landscapes and is a calm, smooth traffic-free route with wide paths offering fresh air and scenic vistas over the River Finn, one of Ireland’s premier salmon rivers.
Strabane – Lifford
The route commences in the historic town of Strabane in County Tyrone where the greenway provides dedicated active travel around the border town and its many sights offering many points to start your journey from. Passing the distinctive “let the dance begin” art installation known locally as the “Tinnies“, you will continue to head Northwest towards County Donegal crossing the mighty River Foyle just below the confluence of the River Mourne and River Finn. This is a narrow bridge and cyclists should dismount to cross the bridge using the footpath. Crossing into County Donegal, another piece of sculpture ‘Three Coins’ at a roundabout marking the approach into Lifford. You can opt to continue straight through the roundabout to explore the town of Lifford – the county town of Donegal or you can opt to turn left at the roundabout (please be mindful of vehicles) and join the segregated route.
