Old Trail Maps

The Great Southern Trail is a greenway rail trail under development in Counties Limerick and Kerry, Ireland. It is intended to be 85 kilometres (53 miles) long when completed and run from Limerick to Tralee. It is an off-road trail intended for use by cyclists and walkers. It follows the route of the former Great Southern and Western Railway Limerick to Tralee line which opened between 1867 and 1880 and was closed between 1975 and 1977. At present some 35 kilometres (22 miles) of the route between Rathkeale and Abbeyfeale have been developed. The developed section of the trail passes through Rathkeale, Ardagh, Newcastle West, Barnagh and Abbeyfeale.
