Things To Do
Cycling Routes in the beautiful Co Kerry
The Kerry
Head
Cycleway
Distance: 18 kilometres
Distance: 18 kilometres
Terrain: A mix of flat
and hilly countryside.
Low gears
recommended.
Traffic: Traffic is
normally very light along
this route.
If you want to captivate
the ruggedness and
isolation of this
spectacular coastline,
you will not be
disappointed with a trip
around Kerry Head and
Maulin
Mountain.
The cycleway, which is
signposted all the way
from Ballyheigue,
departs along the steep
hill overlooking
Ballyheigue Bay, with its
crashing waves where many
a ship has foundered. As
you climb to the top, the
westerly prevailing
Atlantic wind can be a
challenge to the most
experienced cyclist so
don't be afraid to
dismount and walk. Soon
the road levels out for a
gentler but undulating
ride back to
Ballyheigue.
It is worth stopping at
various points along the
route to enjoy the views,
where the Atlantic Ocean
stretches to the horizon.
Gradually the route turns
inland along the edge of
the mountain and finally
enters the town of
Ballyheigue by the local
golf course and the
castle, built in the
early 1800's, which
is now a ruin.

Fenit Cycleway
Distance: 26 kilometres
Terrain: Flat scenic
route
Traffic: Traffic can be
very light to moderate
along this
route.
This Cycleway contrasts
the diverse nature of
touring along the Fenit
peninsula with panoramic
views of Tralee Bay and
the quiet rural landscape
of the area.
The Fenit Cycleway
departs Tralee along the
R551, but shortly after
leaving the town, the
route quickly branches
left to the coastal RS58
in the direction of Spa
and the bustling port
village of Fenit. Here
you will find a mixture
of commercial and leisure
craft. This is also an
ideal place to take
on-board refreshments and
enjoy a pleasant stroll
along the
pier.
To get back on route
after leaving the
harbour, you must retrace
your steps for 1km.
approx. until you reach
the signpost for
"Fenit
Cycleway", directing
cyclists left and through
a network of country
roads, until you arrive
at Ardfert. This
hedge-lined road moves
away from the coastline
and is relatively
traffic-free. At Ardfert
you must take a right
turn on to the R551 and
your destination, Tralee,
which is only a gentle
ride away.
