バリーカルトラでののおすすめMTBライド

Great towpath for riding or walking. Lots of dog walkers so be aware going around bends with limited visibility but lots of straights for building up speed after.

Beautiful beach to stop for kids to play in the sand, or to get in for a dip

Woodburn Forest is a picturesque woodland area west of Carrickfergus, renowned for its diverse flora and fauna. Popular among hikers, it offers scenic trails, serene reservoirs, and abundant wildlife.

Helen's Bay Beach is one of two excellent beaches found in Crawfordsburn Country Park. These beautiful sandy beaches are by far the best within the Belfast area and as such are exceptionally popular and well used. Helen's Bay Beach is gently shelving and has excellent water quality making it ideal for bathing. The country park provides an excellent back drop to the beach, with wooded headlands, meadows, quality walks and good facilities. There are disabled toilets and disabled parking a short distance from the beach. A path suitable for wheelchair users leads from the car park to a path running adjacent to it. Nearby Crawfordsburn Country Park has a Cafe / Restaurant, Car Parking, Picnic Sites,Toilets, and a Visitor Centre.

This impressive fort was built in the 20th century and is one of the best preserved forts in the British Isles! It played a huge role in the defenses of Belfast during WW1 & WW2.

Here a rocky outcrop provides some excellent views east toward Crawfordsburn Country Park and west toward Helen's Bay Beach, and, on a clear day, all the way to Belfast.

Beautiful sandy inlet on the shores of Crawfordsburn Country Park. You can enjoy some spectacular scenery and views toward Belfast Lough as well as a peek at the magnificent Crawfordsburn House which stands overlooking the sea.

19th-century folly and lookout tower near Bangor. Named after the 5th Baron's mother, Helen. He intended it as a shrine for poems - Tennyson's Helen's Tower is the best known of them. Well worth a stop off to explore the architecture.

Part of the Clandeboyle Estate, between the golf courses, there are some nice off-road trails. Close to Helen's Tower, so worth factoring that in.

Barnett Demnese jump track is part of the gravel and MTB trails in the park, and great fun for all levels/ages.

Good gravel trails close to city. Pretty easy going so suitable for all levels and most bike types. It can get bust at the weekend so be careful.

nice trail run up the tower

Hard packed gravel through Woodburn. Suitable and fun for all bike types.

Take your rubbish home as there are no bins around any of the dams only in the carpark

On Helen's Bay coastline, Grey Point Fort was built to protect the Belfast Lough in 1907. It is one of the best preserved 20th-century coastal forts in the British Isles. The fort is now a military museum exhibiting historic memorabilia from the First and Second World Wars. You can also visit the fort's observation post and three searchlight positions.

Woodburn Reservoir is a lovely waterbody surrounded by forested hills. The reservoir provides important habitats for diverse wildlife and plants such as rare mosses, grasses and damselflies. It's a lovely place to stop off with a picnic on a bike trip and admire the views.

A lovely walk especially from Helens Bay - through rolling country side, however there is no signage but reasonable easy to follow - that is until to come to Helen's Tower - if you find it give yourself a Mars bar and if you manage to find your way to your cat at Whitespots car park - give yourself two Mars bars. Enjoy :-)

Part of the North Down coastal path from Holywood through to Bangor and out to Orlock head-hard surface all the way with some inclines a distance of 16 m. Grey Point Fort at Helensbay going back to WW 2-has gun placements with history of the Fort- CHECK IF OPEN if you are just going to see the Fort.

It's wet.
