Tralee - Fenit Greenway - Cycle-along

We were blessed with some largely dry, crisp clear weather for this week's cycle from Tralee to Fenit. The journey begins at the traffic lights by Casement station.
The Greenway follows the path of the Tralee to Fenit railway which opened in 1887 and closed in 1978. Under development since 2009, the greenway got the greenlight in 2017, when CIE both the Tralee to Fenit line and the North Kerry line (from Tralee to Limerick) to Kerry County Council. A big thank you to everyone who worked, walked and campaigned to get this fabulous amenity off the ground.
The beginning/end of the greenway is approximately at these co-ordinates 52.27127717260796, -9.700123436916867 with the other side here 52.276675, -9.864967
If you need to refuel before, during or after your trip, here you will find a list of restaurants I would personally recommend.
Before you set off, directly across from the station, you will find the Glasshouse cafe, which do a tremendous breakfast, brunch and lunch menu. You will find it here: g.page/the-gla...
A short trip down Rock Street you will find the Brogue Inn, serving some of the nicest food in Tralee. You can find it here: goo.gl/maps/gu...
When you reach Mounthawk, you will find Pikup around the back of the shopping area, for coffee and something sweet. The location is here: goo.gl/maps/28...
When you reach the Spa, roughly the halfway point of the journey, you will find two of the best seafood restaurants in the county. The Oyster tavern is an old style bar and restaurant (try the chowder!) and you can find it here: g.page/the-oys...
Further into the Spa, you will find Spa Seafoods, arguably the best seafood takeaway in Kerry g.page/spaseaf...
Before you finish, you can find NAVO here: goo.gl/maps/au... They offer woodfire pizzas and tremendous coffee, in addition to encouraging to BYOB!
When you arrive in Fenit, you will find the West End Bar and Restaurant, serving excellent food, competitively priced goo.gl/maps/fQ...
