For easier directions, take a left out of the aquadome, turn left at the first t junction & then take the next right. Hope this helps. Sorry, just saw above post when I refreshed!!

Quackster wrote: » Foley's Glen is definitely the best place that should satisfy your thirst for trees that is walkable from Tralee. Much wilder and off-the-beaten-track feel than Ballyseede. It's on the Short Mountain road, south of Ballyard. You can also continue to walk the road up to the top of the Short Mountain for lovely views north over Tralee and south over Killorglin and Mid-Kerry.

Zefff wrote: » Hey Tralee folks, might sound flakey, but where's the best place to go to walk amongst trees around here (besides the lovely park)?! We Canadians are missing the trees and it's a beautiful day. I was looking at Ballyseedy woods. Seems nice, but how would one get there without a car? We're used to long walks. Having said that, we've also been wanting to take a little train trip somewhere. Any ideas for combining both (woods walk and train)?

As well as to enable Killarney/N22 traffic to access the Retail Park directly without going via Rathass or Killerisk, the new road also proposes to facilitate access to an extension of the Retail Park with new shops and offices behind Woodies/TK Maxx in the years to come. The application is under review with the council currently. Details attachedhttp://docstore.kerrycoco.ie/planningfiles/151173.PDF Good to see some positive developments in the pipeline!

ongarboy wrote: » I personally prefer a charity shop over a bookies any day. I find that modern day charity shops are bright, welcoming places that sell all sorts of interesting things and you'd see customers from all wage brackets visiting them. They are no longer dingy, musty places that cater only for those on the breadline. The Enable and Oxfam shops in Abbeycourt are both good examples.
