Sheep's Head

Imagine a cycling route on the wild Atlantic coast. Imagine a peninsula ringed with plunging cliffs, scattered with holy wells, castles and caves, and a landscape so unspoiled it's often inaccessible by main road. Welcome to the Sheep's Head Cycle Way.



The Beara Way

For cyclists who long to really get away from it all, it doesn't get much better than the Beara Way Cycle Route. Bound by Kenmare Bay to the north and Bantry Bay to the south, this 138km trail traces one of Ireland's wildest and most remote peninsulas.



Killarney

Killarney National Park is the oldest in Ireland's. It has cycling options for all ages and abilities. Bring your own bike or rent one in one of the many locations in Killarney and take a spin through ancient oak forests and past sparkling lakes.



North West Trail

Travelling on quiet roads and through varied terrain, the 326km North West Trail is the ideal way to discover the hidden gems of Leitrim, Sligo and Donegal in the Republic of Ireland and Tyrone and Fermanagh in Northern Ireland.
