Limerick Greenway Hub @ Rathkeale
The new €2.48 million visitor hub was officially opened on 19th September 2025, with the transformation of a derelict railway goods shed set to guide the development of future Greenway trailheads along the route.
Rathkeale
Rathkeale is situated on the River Deel approximately 31 kilometres southwest of Limerick City. The town dates back to at least 1289 and has been influenced by many periods of settlement over the centuries.
Ardagh Station House
Ardagh Station was served by its first train in 1867, just a year before the discovery of the iconic Ardagh Chalice. Part of a hoard of early Christian art, the chalice is on display in the National Museum in Dublin, and a replica can be seen at the Hunt Museum in Limerick.
Ardagh
Steeped in history and surrounded by the gorgeous Limerick countryside, Ardagh is a hidden gem in this part of the world. A gentle 4km from the town of Newcastle West, it makes for a wonderful spot to embark on a trip along the Limerick Greenway path.
Newcastle West Golf Club
A beautifully situated Irish parkland course in Ardagh, County Limerick. Facilities include a driving range, pro shop, chipping green, practice putting greens and a restaurant. Additional information about the course can be accessed here.
Newcastle West
Newcastle West is Limerick’s largest town, with an array of amenities to suit everyone in the family. The cultural hub offers historical monuments of interest, boutique shops, gourmet food and breath-taking scenery. Parking facilities for Limerick Greenway are available at Newcastle West.
Ferguson's Viaduct
Ferguson’s Viaduct is a testament to the ingenuity of Victorian engineering, bridging the line for almost a century and still standing today. Built in cast iron, the bridge is one of the best surviving examples of 19th century railway architecture in Ireland.
Barnagh Station House
This station marked the steepest point of the Limerick to Tralee Railway line, as the plains of Limerick met the mountainous area of the Sliabh Luachra on the border with Cork and Kerry. It was an essential stop for steam locomotives to replenish their coal and water so they could continue the journey.
Barnagh Tunnel
Opened in 1880, the Barnagh Tunnel was dug using explosives and pick axes and runs 100-metres underground through the most difficult terrain of the old Limerick to Tralee line. Visitors can now walk or cycle through the tunnel and see the details of the architecture up close.
Barnagh Viewing Point
From the Barnagh Viewing Point, 164 metres above sea level, you can see the fertile pastures of the Golden Vale, towns like Newcastle West, Abbeyfeale, Adare and Askeaton, and even as far as neighbouring counties Clare and Cork. With a picnic area, the viewing point is also the perfect stop for a rest after a gentle climb to reach the top.
Templeglantine Village
Known locally as Glantine, the village has a rich tradition of Irish music and literature dating back to the 1700’s. Connected to the Sliabh Luachra region, Glantine has a distinctive musical style that captivates its listeners.
Tullig Wood
The natural tranquillity of Tullig Wood stands out from the vibrant market towns and open plains that dominate the Limerick Greenway. The forest is made up of mostly native trees and wildflowers, and is an important wildlife habitat for birds, badgers, and butterflies.
Abbeyfeale
For centuries, bustling Abbeyfeale has had a rich culture of traditional music, dance and song, which is proudly displayed in the town’s annual Fleadh by the Feale festival. As one of the largest towns in the county, surrounded by captivating green hills and the meandering River Feale, it makes for a wonderful end to the Greenway path, bringing you closer to the Limerick-Kerry border, where further adventures await.
