Consultation phase begins for Ring of Kerry greenway

Kerry County Council has taken another step towards the development of a cycling greenway on the Ring of Kerry that it hopes will become a major tourist attraction.

The authority has begun a pre-application consultation with Bord Pleanála about its plans for a 32km greenway between Renard Point outside Cahirciveen and Glenbeigh. Renard Point is the departure point for ferries to Valentia Island.

Under the plans for the greenway, the council will build a 3m-wide paved surface with grass verges which will be fenced off from surrounding landholdings.
