Cycling in South East Ireland

|
| |
This is a moderate tour of the driest and sunniest corner of Ireland in the driest month. Set against the backdrop of the Blackstairs, Comeragh, Galtee and Knockmealdown Mountains the route passes through the picturesque Slaney, Barrow and Suir valleys before returning along the dramatic and rugged coastline. Averaging 40 miles a day and with two optional rest days, there will be time to take in the scenery and many of the area’s main historic and cultural sights and attractions. For those who want a challenge there will be an optional ascent to the top of Mt Leinster.
