Walking, for leisure, pleasure or for health is the most predominant activity along the banks of Ireland's inland waterways. Whether walking into town from a mooring, or walking along one of the Waymarked Ways along the waterways which include the Lough Derg Way, the Barrow Way, the Grand Canal Way, the Royal Canal Way, Slí Liatroma, the Miners' Way Historical Trail and the Cavan Way, the presence of the waterway adds an indefinable extra to the experience.
