Mountain Biking; The Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trail is the largest trail network of it’s kind in Ireland (90KM’s in total) and provides many options for off-road cycling in the mountains. This place has been getting rave reviews since it opened.
Forest road climbs lead you into tight twisty single track with loads of ups and downs, tight turns and technical rocky bits. The trails range from a moderate 6 kilometre Greenwood loop to the demanding Castlepook loop, over 50 kilometres in length!
The trail system, designed by one of the world leaders in the sport, is a challenging, one-way system constructed to give a challenging and rewarding ride. Please ensure you are equipped fully to undertake this adventure sport and respect other trail users at all times.
