Rathkeale, the start of the Limerick Greenway, became the latest destination to welcome cyclists by adding facilities throughout the town. In a coordinated approach stretching the length and breadth of Rathkeale, Downe’s Eurospar Supermarket, White’s Foodstore and Filling Station, Rathkeale House Hotel, the Welcome Centre, and historic Augustinian Abbey now have bike stands, car parking and toilets for visiting cyclists.

Carving a 40km path through the local countryside, the Limerick Greenway offers an authentic experience of rural Ireland to cyclists, runners and walkers. Following the old Limerick to Kerry railway line, the Greenway seamlessly links West Limerick’s towns and villages with some fascinating heritage sites in between.

In contrast to the buzz of Limerick City, County Limerick is a place of rural charm and great beauty.
