Brilliant feedback following the opening of the latest section of the South Kerry Greenway.

There was a real sense of excitement in South Kerry over the June bank holiday weekend as walkers and cyclists got to enjoy a further 2km of the South Kerry Greenway between Glenbeigh and Mountain Stage.

🎥 As the crow flies over the South Kerry Greenway…

Take in spectacular aerial views of the recently extended section of the South Kerry Greenway. The newest section of the Greenway officially opened to the public yesterday afternoon, extending the route from Glenbeigh to Griffin’s Cottage at Kilkeehagh.

The latest extension features a new elevated boardwalk and N70 overbridge, both offering stunning panoramic views of the surrounding landscape.

Visitors are advised that the Glenbeigh to Kilkeehagh section incorporates two short stretches of ‘quiet road’. These shared spaces are used by vehicles, walkers and cyclists, and all Greenway users are asked to take care and show consideration to others while enjoying the route.
