Discover this picturesque and historic town at the heart of County Kerry


Discover the stories of Tralee, from its medieval roots to the bustling and vibrant town of today

The Tralee Heritage Trail Audio Guide brings you on a tour of this picturesque and historic town set in the heart of County Kerry. The town takes its name from the Irish Trá Lí, meaning the ‘strand of the River Lee’. This mighty waterway charts a course from the Stack’s Mountains toward Tralee Bay where it joins the River Gyle, also known as ‘The Big River’. These rivers are intrinsically linked to the story of the town, as we will discover on our journey today.


The town of Tralee was founded in 1216 by John Fitzthomas Fitzgerald, a powerful Anglo- Norman magnate. The FItzgeralds were responsible for the development of Tralee up to the 16th century, when control passed to the Denny family. The streetscapes you will encounter on your walk today showcase these changes in authority, as small winding streets lead to wide Georgian-inspired thoroughfares.


Tralee is a bustling town and home to a community that supports a vibrant social scene with culture at its heart. From the famous Rose of Tralee Festival to a host of theatrical talent, echoes of the past are ever-present in this scenic town where you can encounter a story around every corner. The Tralee Heritage Trail Audio Guide begins at Tralee Town Park and will lead you through the town, sharing the stories of some of the town’s most famous sites as you follow the route.
