An idea first developed in Killarney is now being rolled out across the county, with the award-winning free Augmented Reality trail, Ciar’s Quest, expanding to two new locations in Kerry.

The original trail, created on Ross Island in Killarney National Park, has proven hugely popular with families.
Building on that success, Kerry County Council has now extended the experience to the Kingdom of Kerry Greenways, with new trails on the Tralee to Fenit Greenway and the Listowel to Limerick Greenway.
A year-round quest has also been launched from Ballyheigue Blue Flag Beach.
Developed by Cork-based Wanderly and funded through the Department of Rural and Community Development’s Digital Innovation Programme, the interactive trails turn a walk or cycle into a family adventure.
Using the free app, visitors can follow a map, scan trail symbols, and unlock stories about Kerry’s wildlife and folklore.
Brian Looney, Head of Digital with Kerry County Council, said the expansion shows how low-impact technology can add to outdoor experiences. “Families can add a treasure hunt to their Greenway journey, and Kerry is one of the first places we know of where Greenways have this kind of Augmented Reality enhancement on top of the natural beauty,” he said.
