This short 11 minute video giving an aerial view of the continuation of the old railway route from Abbeyfeale westwards to Listowel, Co. Kerry and illustrates the pleasant pastoral landscape, close to the meandering RIver Feale, which is traversed by  the railway. The first 3Km of this  section of the Greenway was developed by Limerick County Council in 2012  as far as the Kerry Border where the remaining 10km still awaits development by Kerry County Council.

Skike some more sections of the Great Southern Trail Greenway

Skike some section of the Great Southern Trail Greenway from Newcastle West to Barnagh, both ways 20km. The best are tunnels, especially Ferguson's Tunnel in Barnagh (just on the other side of the N21), bridges and off road track. We had a great time, come and visit this place for a cycle or even a walk.
