Your Gateway to Exploring Longford, Westmeath & the Royal Canal
Ethical Tours is based in Ballymahon, on the border of Longford and Westmeath, and in Maynooth, Co. Kildare - the official starting point of the Royal Canal Greenway. Both locations are ideal bases for exploring Ireland’s beautiful waterways, lakes, historic sites, and the rich heritage of the Hidden Heartlands.
Set off from Maynooth along the Royal Canal Greenway, explore Longford and Westmeath's lakes and heritage from Ballymahon, or combine both for a longer adventure. Our extensive fleet of quality electric and manual bikes suits all abilities, with guided and self-guided tours and bike hire available.
