ポートラッシュのおすすめツーリングルート

The Causeway Coast Cycle Route guides you along Northern Ireland's dramatic northern coastline, offering a varied terrain for touring cycling. You will encounter tarmac roads, traffic-free sections, and shared paths, including a dust path near the Giant's Causeway. Expect rolling and sometimes very hilly landscapes with short, steep climbs and longer ascents, gaining 1164 feet (355 metres) over its 24.0 miles (38.6 km) length. This moderate route typically takes around 2 hours and 24 minutes to complete, providing expansive views across the Atlantic Ocean and picturesque seashores.

While much of the route uses quieter roads, be prepared for some on-road cycling to connect different segments. The landscape can be quite hilly, so if you prefer an easier ride, an e-bike might be a good option for you. Strong winds are common on exposed clifftops, so always check the weather forecast before you set out. Planning your visit around calmer weather will enhance your experience.

This route is notable for connecting numerous iconic landmarks within the Causeway Coast AONB. As you cycle, you will often see the dramatic clifftop ruins of Dunluce Castle, adding a historical element to your journey. The varied terrain and coastal scenery make this a popular choice for cyclists looking to explore the region's unique natural environment and cultural heritage.
