Former Wexford Camogie Player, and RTE analyst Ursula Jacob takes a break from her busy family and working life to discover two coastal trails in Co.Kerry.
Starting in Tralee with a bird's eye view of the trail ahead, Ursula sets off along the old ship's canal on a trail that is long but easy under foot and takes her along the coastline and greenway all the way to Fenit.
Ursula Jacob heads south towards Waterville for her next walk along the rolling Kerry coastline where land and sea collide.
Ursula settles in for a hike which even though is only 10km long, takes in sections of 3 routes, an Old Butter route, The Kerry Way and the Derrynane Mass Loop.
