South Kerry greenway, Rail trail in County Kerry, Ireland
The South Kerry Greenway extends for 27 kilometers from Glenbeigh to Cahersiveen, following the path of a former railway line through the Irish countryside.
The original railway line, operated by Great Southern and Western Railway from 1893 to 1960, served as a vital transportation route for local communities.
The transformation of this historical railway into a greenway represents the evolution of Irish transportation infrastructure while maintaining connections between local communities.
Construction of the greenway involves multiple phases, with completion expected by mid-2026, including the installation of bridges and tunnels along the route.
The trail incorporates existing railway structures, including viaducts that span valleys and provide views across the Kerry landscape.
