Another Walk Along A Repurposed Railway Line.

 We went back to the  Limerick/Kerry Greenway again the other day.  I had read online the Abbeyfeale to Listowel section is now open.  This is 16 Kilometres long or about 9 miles in old gas meters.

People (walkers, cyclists, runners,dogs) were all very pleasant and greeted us with smiles and "Hi" and stopped and stroked our Golden Retriever and it's a splendid way to repurpose abandoned railways.

I still think there entrepreneur opportunities for hot dog 🌭 vans and selling "nice" cups of coffee and tea and ice creams and cold drinks and providers dog pubs for our Canine friends.

This section cost 20 million and that includes the compulsory purchasing of land.    The Irish government is pledging half a billion Euros for the repurposing of old railway lines.  Any chance of them doing the same in West Cork?

We thought it would be a good to have one of the novelty road train vehicles that carry passengers for a minimal fee around seaside  promenades in the Algarve.  Especially beneficial for people who can't walk long distances yet still want to enjoy the Greenway.

Here's some photos:

How The castle looks today all covered in Ivy.

It's good to see the old railway  lines being repurposed and money being spent instead of cut backs on public spending for a change.

The walking is relatively easy and you don't have big hills to climb.  It would be a great way to go on a cycling or walking holiday.  

Lets hope they invest in  more public transport connections to these Greenways and in campsites and bunk houses accommodation and refreshments facilities.
