The South Kerry Greenway has been delayed for ages by legal challenges but the first 3.1km section from Golden's of Kells to the site of the old Kell's railway station is now open.
This is the first section of a planned 32km stretch of greenway going from Glenbeigh to Reenard (south west of Cahersiveen). Once completed, this will be the most scenic greenway in the country.
The main car parking area and a pedestrian access is situated at Golden’s of Kells. This is a temporary arrangement. A permanent car park and accessible access will be constructed at a later date.
The temporary access at Golden's is steep and not suitable for wheelchairs or buggies. Toilet facilities will be available for public use at Golden's of Kells.
There are limited accessible parking spaces available at the former Kells Train Station car park as a temporary measure.
The greenway itself is fully surfaced with an easy-to-traverse path with views across Kells Bay and the Atlantic Ocean.
Section 2 which will run approximately 5 km through woodland from Curra Woods to Mountain Stage has a planned opening ahead of the 2026 summer season.
