Tralee to Fenit Greenway

Tralee to Fenit Greenway

This Greenway is an easy 14km cycle from Tralee to beautiful Fenit. We stretched it out by adding a worthwhile little jaunt at the Fenit end. Finding the start of the Greenway in Tralee town was a bit of an ordeal. Kerry County Council certainly needs to work on...
