If coming from Rathkeale side you will see it on the other side of the road. Keep cycling, you turn at the tunnel a few hundred metres after the top of the climb

This part of the Limerick Greenway features the interesting 115 meter long Barnagh Tunnel and the old Barnagh Railway Station which at 160 metres above sea level has fantastic views across Clare, Cork and Kerry.

Barnagh hub is also at the railway station which has an activity area for kids, bike hire and a cafe. A perfect spot to stop and refuel before continuing on your ride.
