About Listowel
Listowel is a historic market town in north County Kerry, set on the banks of the River Feale and surrounded by the gentle farmland of the North Kerry landscape. It has a lively, close-knit character, combining traditional town-centre streets with established residential estates and a strong cultural identity. The town is well known for Listowel Writers’ Week and Listowel Races, while Listowel Castle and the heritage town centre add to its sense of place. Families are served by local primary schools and Presentation Secondary School, with further education options available in nearby Tralee and Limerick. Day-to-day shopping is convenient, with supermarkets, independent retailers, cafés, restaurants and traditional pubs concentrated around the town centre. Transport is mainly road-based, with regular bus services and straightforward access towards Tralee, Tarbert, Ballybunion and Limerick; commuting is generally car-dependent, as Listowel has no railway station. Residents have access to Listowel Community Centre and Base Gym Listowel, as well as riverside walks, parks, sporting facilities and a broad range of clubs and community activities.
