Visitors to the Limerick - Listowel Greenway can start their cycle from a number of locations as the path travels through quite a few towns and villages. In some locations such as Rathkeale, Ardagh, Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale there are designated carparks at the side of the greenway. But in all cases safe parking should not be a problem in any of the local towns and villages. 

​

There are no train services available to any of the towns on the greenway. Rail travel and carriage of bikes is possible to the nearby urban areas of Limerick and Tralee, see the Intercity Rail Map here and visit the Rail section of this website for details of how to book tickets. From Limerick or Tralee a bus can be taken to towns on the greenway,  

​

Those hiring bikes will need to start at a location that provides bike hire, see the Bike Hire section of this website here.

​

For those travelling by bus, the Limerick to Tralee Expressway bus passes through and stops at the towns of Rathkeale, Newcastle West, Templeglantine, Abbeyfeale and Listowel. See the Road Travel section of this website for details of the Expressway bus routes and how to book tickets. Please also see on the same page details relating to carriage of bikes on buses. The Expressway Bus Routes can also be seen here.

​

In addition to national bus services there is a local shuttle bus that runs in the summer months in a loop every hour from 12PM to 4PM, see the website here. The shuttle bus runs between the hubs at Rathkeale, Newcastle West and Abbeyfeale. Hotel pick-up from locations between the hubs is also available on request. Hired bicycles and owned bicycles can be taken on the bus, allowing cyclists to join the Limerick - Listowel Greenway at a point that suits them.

​

Many businesses open only in the high season so also please ring ahead to be sure that services are available, see also the note about temporary/ pop-up businesses on Ireland's greenways here. ​
