ILI CPD Webinar | Greenways of Ireland: Design, Wayfinding and User Experience by Richard Manton
12-1pm Thursday 17th September 2026
Ireland’s walking and cycling landscape has been transformed in recent years with new greenways springing up across the island. Following canals, rivers and old railways, these traffic-free walking and cycling routes offer stunning scenery and a fun day out for people of all abilities. A new book, Greenways of Ireland, is a guide to 25 spectacular greenways with a total distance of over 750km, spread across the island of Ireland. It is packed with historical information, detailed maps, practical details on access and transport as well as plenty of high-quality photography. In this webinar, author Richard Manton will present some highlights of the book, including design features, wayfinding and other elements of the user experience.
