Trail History
The Listowel to Abbeyfeale route on the Kingdom of Kerry Greenway begins in the beautiful town of Listowel. It is nestled between the Stack Mountains to the south and the foothills of Mullaghareirk Mountains and finishes at the Limerick border.
The 16km route offers unspoilt views of the surrounding pastureland and picturesque landscape of heather bog land, fertile valleys and rolling hills and the lively historic market town of Listowel.
It connects with ‘The Limerick Greenway’ at Abbeyfeale, and continues on for 40km through the three key market towns of Abbeyfeale, Newcastle West and Rathkeale, and North from Rathkeale to the townland of Ballingarrane.
Along the route, you’ll find picnic tables and benches where you can enjoy great views in a peaceful and tranquil place.
