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 and Fenit Seaworld, a novel sealife visitor attraction. 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 I km. 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.
