This is a stunning half day guided cycle that lets you experience the amazing coastal scenery of the Wild Atlantic Way. The tour brings you down headlands and along wild beaches through the lush, green Irish countryside. You'll see cows grazing in the fields and crops such as maize glowing and swaying in the breeze.
We start at the Lusitania Museum/Old Head Signal Tower with views over the Old Head Gold Links, Cork harbour and the beautiful West Cork area. We'll cycle along two beaches before our stop in a traditional Irish Pub in Ballinspittle village. Here we'll enjoy a tea/coffee or soft drink before returning by bike through more stunning countryside to our start point.
The tour involves cycling on moderately hilly terrain. It is suitable for couples, groups and families with older children. For groups, the exact tour route can be tailored to your need. Bikes and electric bikes are provided with helmet and high vis vest.
