Why Ireland

The Emerald Isle’s rugged landscape can be exhilarating at times, but there are lots of sublime cycling routes winding through some of the most superlative scenery the country has to offer.

The magical extra ingredient that Irish cycling holidays can offer is our network of countless little leafy lanes and quiet rural roads, almost completely free of traffic, which thread through the unspoiled countryside. Many of these small roads have an ancient lineage; their lines were traced hundreds of years ago.

Around Northern Ireland, you’ll find The National Cycle Network – over 770 miles of four high quality, signed cycle routes from Belfast to Ballyshannon, Ballycastle to Ballyshannon, the Kingfisher Trail and the Loughshore Trail.

Wherever you cycle, you are guaranteed to find scenic beauty, a varied landscape, wayside history, friendly villages, the Irish tradition of generous hospitality and the warmest welcome in the world.
