The Cullenaugh River is one of those quiet places that you might not immediately have on your radar, but it's worth discovering. We stop on a small bridge over the river to take a breather and listen to the gentle rippling of the water. It's been raining, the roads are wet, and the tires leave a thin trail on the asphalt - typical Irish conditions that add an authentic touch to the experience.
Here the water flows over small cascades, while the surrounding green hills provide a peaceful backdrop. The surroundings exude a serenity that is perfect for a quick stop to enjoy the view. A few cyclists have already gathered and are chatting about the next stage - very relaxed, as it should be on these routes.
A quiet corner of the Irish countryside that is small but charming. Even if it's only a brief moment on your route, the river adds to the overall experience.
