SECAD has a vision to establish a high-quality network of community walking trails that are well constructed, managed, advertised and maintained in the South and East Cork area from Nohoval to Youghal and including many around the Cork Harbour area.
The benefits of creating community trails are manifold. They allow people to explore new areas, promote a healthy lifestyle, attract tourists, and generate income for the local community.
Trail ideas are being suggested by communities from all corners of the habour, from the tip of Crosshaven to Whitgate, with plans to develop a trail from Aghada all the way to Ballycotton.
Following the SECAD Community Trails Seminar in May, many communities across the South and East Cork area have become involved in the SECAD Trails Development initiative, moving to develop a number of high quality, safe trails for use by their local community, and those visiting their area.
A Facebook page has been created and a website developed. If you would like to keep abreast of trail development in the harbour, or if you would like to explore the possibility of creating a trail for your community, plenty of information is available from these links. Click on the links below.
CorkHarbour.ie also contains information on harbour walking trails in the resource section More information will be added to this page over time.
