Sponsored: Plan your ideal staycation this summer along the stunning Limerick Greenway
If you haven’t been on a bike in a while, don’t worry; Limerick Greenway is mostly flat and the surface has been designed with mobility in mind. With no motorised traffic, it feels very safe too.
If you want to go twice the distance with half the effort, rent an electric bike. E-bikes are an energy saver when you have children in tow as you can put them in a trailer towed behind the bike. It’s a fun way to cover a lot of ground without little legs tiring out.
Stop into the local shops to pick up the makings of a picnic for a scenic al fresco lunch. Lying back in the grass, biting into a freshly made sandwich with your bare feet wiggling or dipped in a stream, the sunshine kissing your skin really makes it feel like you are on holiday.Limerick Greenway runs from Rathkeale to Abbeyfeale, taking you through the pretty towns and villages of Ardagh, Newcastle West, Barnagh, Templeglantine, Abbeyfeale and on to the Kerry border.
Back on the Greenway, you’ll quickly become part of the community and have beautiful moments with strangers - be it an enthusiastic ‘hello’ or casual lifting of a finger from the handlebars. What a friendly bunch.Step back in time and admire beautiful railway architecture up close as you pass over the Victorian cast iron Ferguson’s Viaduct and go through the 115m-long Barnagh Tunnel, which opened in 1880.
