Tourism plan for disused rail line

A disused rail line in Kerry, closed more than 50 years ago, could become a key attraction on the Wild Atlantic Way.

As areas all along the west coast jockey to be included in the new tourist route from Cork to Donegal, a case is also being made for the old Farranfore to Caherciveen line.

The line ran for more than 50km along the spectacular Ring of Kerry, commanding views of the rugged landscape, sea and mountains.
