A new walking guide for the North Kerry Way between Tralee and Ballyheigue has been designed, produced and launched by Kerry County Council.
Realisation of Objective
The guide focuses on the attractions of the popular walking route and represents the realisation of an objective in the County Kerry Tourism Strategy and Action Plan.
The guidebook, which was launched by the outgoing Cathaoirleach of the Listowel Municipal District, Cllr John Lucid, serves as a companion on the walking route and identifies places of interest.
In-House Production
The route takes in Tralee, Blennerville, The Spa, Fenit, Churchill, Barrow, Banna and Ballyheigue.
The guide was designed and produced in-house by Kerry County Council’s Tourism Unit with the support of the Department of Rural and Community Development and the Outdoor Recreation Infrastructure Scheme and with the assistance of the North Kerry Way Committee.
Useful Addition
“This guide is a very useful and informative addition to tourism guidebooks in the county,” said Joan McCarthy, head of tourism at Kerry County Council.
“Our tourism strategy included a commitment to publish a guide focussing on the North Kerry Way and I am pleased to see that coming to fruition.
Walking Tourism
“We are acutely aware of the interest in and growth of walking tourism and it is vital that we have informative and attractive guidebooks for those looking to explore Kerry’s beauty on foot.
“The guidebook is being distributed to outlets along the route and is available from tourist offices, Kerry County Council offices and local outlets,’ said Ms. McCarthy.
The Maine Valley Post has, is and always will be a free resource for the people of the locality and its wider diaspora.
When we started in 2013, the intention was to be a weekly, online newsletter. Over time, the site has evolved into a much different beast with multiple updates on a daily basis.
Because of its nature as a digital publication, it brings with it certain expenses: computers and cameras that require updating and maintenance; internet hosting and access; to say nothing of the time and hard work that goes into the site. It all adds up…
Our online community has always been our greatest asset and a vocal supporter of the Maine Valley Post since day one.
