    Tips

    June 2, 2021

    Cycling

    A rough gravel section leads down from the road, along Lough Veagh and towards the castle. It's calm and serene down here and the view is incredibly scenic. It's best ridden with a gravel bike or mountain bike, even though the riders of the TransAtlanticWay tackle it with road bikes and it has become an iconic stretch of the ride over the years.

    Cycling

    The route out of the valley is not recommended with heavy equipment, but it is possible, but it is extremely strenuous and only possible if you push the bike. With lighter luggage and the right bike, it is more likely to be possible.
