Walkers face disruption on walk trail

THE Great Southern Trail promises to be one of the finest long-distance waymarked walks in Ireland.

Some 53 miles long when completed, it will join Limerick to Tralee along the green path of the old Great Southern and Western Railway. Permission for its use was given by CIÉ, which supported the project.

To date 22 miles have been developed, this the work of local volunteers who appreciate the opportunity and amenity potential of an off-road walk, away from the traffic hazards which has made many of our country roads unwalkable.
