LIMERICK Greenway is preparing to welcome even more people in 2024, having already counted more than 1.5 million visits since its opening in July of 2021.
The 40km off-road experience, which follows the old Kerry to Limerick railway line, is gearing up for another year of strong visitor numbers.
Limerick Greenway was designed with mobility in mind and is safe and suitable for users of all abilities and ages to visit and enjoy.
With thoughtfully designed pathways and facilities, Limerick Greenway embraces diversity, creating an environment where families, friends, and solo adventurers can connect with nature and each other.
The five hub towns/villages along Limerick Greenway are Rathkeale, Ardagh, Newcastle West, Barnagh and Abbeyfeale.
Visitors can start their journey at Rathkeale or choose to join in at any of the entry points located along the way, with the option to seamlessly continue their journey from Abbeyfeale across the Limerick-Kerry border and onto Listowel.
The public are being encouraged to explore the scenic 40km off-road experience this Easter Holiday period with activities and adventures for all in each of the Hub towns plus on Limerick Greenway itself.
Limerick Greenway follows a section of the old Limerick to Tralee railway line opened between 1867 and 1880. Many features of the railway are still intact, including Barnagh Tunnel, Ferguson's Viaduct and a number of former station houses.
Limerick Greenway has now linked with the Kingdom of Kerry Greenway and users can continue their journey from Abbeyfeale to Listowel. The Limerick Greenway surface was designed with mobility in mind and is safe and suitable for all users. Public amenities, including parking, have been developed at the access points along the route.
Visitors are invited to check out some Easter fun at Barnagh Greenway Hub, including “Egg-Cup Pottery Workshops, Bunnies and Braids: Weave a Wonderful personalised Easter basket on Thursday, March 28, or the Hoppin' Hunt & Bingo Bash on Saturday, March 30.
