About the harbour

Automatically summarised text: Automatically summarisedvia web search · 30 September 2026

Coolnahay Harbour is a small, historic canal harbour on the Royal Canal, built around 1809 in finely dressed limestone. The harbour sits close to the canal's summit level, with its small jetty on the west side of Lock 26 and Dolan Bridge, right on the Royal Canal Greenway.

Facilities here are simple but well kept: there is bike hire, parking and public toilets, along with the Lock 26 Coffee House, housed in the beautifully restored former lock-keeper's cottage by the lock.

The surroundings invite a peaceful stop – bring a picnic and enjoy the striking limestone scenery around the harbour as you unwind after a trip along the canal or the greenway.

Moor up at Coolnahay and pause for a while in this atmospheric limestone harbour, with coffee, a picnic and views over the lock gate.
