Change in the EuroVelo1 route at the Scilly Walk in Kinsale - Oct 2022

On a cycle back on the 15th of August 2022, I noticed that some of the signs for the EuroVelo1 route were blanked out near the Scilly walk in Kinsale in Co. Cork. There seems to have been some issue with walkers and cyclists sharing the narrow Scilly Walk path.

The image above shows the sign at the eastern entrance to the Scilly Walk up on High Road. 

During a cycle on the 2nd of October 2022, the EuroVelo sign was clearly missing. It seems to have been moved to the nearly junction by Summercove National School which now directs cyclists along High Road into Kinsale and avoiding the Scilly Walk.

The map above shows the difference between the new and old route. The old route went down to the Scilly Walk by the waterfront. The new route to the west is on the High Road and is a higher public road into Kinsale.

The above photo at the National School junction taken on the 2nd of Oct 2022 clearly shows the new sign directing cyclists west towards Kinsale. There was no change to the EuroVelo sign showing the route east.

In the photo, the entrance to the Scilly walk is about 100m down the road and to the right.

I'm not sure if the change in route makes much difference to any potential EuroVelo cyclists but it's a change all the same.
