Definitely one for the climbers this, as its known for being one of this part of Northern Ireland's steepest climbs, The vistas are well worth all the effort. You can see over to Scotland on a clear day, and the quiet narrow winding road that hugs the rugged coastline is really something quite special.

Cycling

For cycling, the round is actually a nightmare. Extremely steep climbs alternate in rapid succession with extremely steep descents. But on the credit side are beautiful views of Scotland. And the traffic is also very manageable.
Assuming good shape, this route is highly recommended.
