Ballyhoura Trail Centre has the largest mountain bike trail network of its kind in Ireland and provides many options for off-road cycling. Forest road climbs lead you into tight twisty singletracks with loads of ups and downs, tight turns and technical rocky bits. The trails range from the moderate 6km Greenwood Loop to the demanding Castlepook Loop, over 50km in length! The trail system, designed by Dafydd Davis, one of the world leaders in the sport, is an exciting network constructed to give a challenging and rewarding ride. Each of the loops here presents riders with a combination of narrow singletrack and boardwalk sections and has sections of forest road climbs over short and long distances.
