Lough Gur Cycling Loop (3) 62km
Route 3 (62 km: 4 hours)
Route 3 is a leisurely spin to the amenity area at the scenic The Lough Gur Visitor Centre. The Neolithic peoples who first settled there have left behind their ceremonial stone circle for us to ponder.
Other castles and archaeological remains are also to be seen nearby. Nowadays you will encounter the locals strolling and enjoying a picnic.
The area between Lough Gur and Knockainey is composed of short steep hills, but elsewhere on the route, the gradients are gentle.
The roads are quiet and relatively traffic-free. Watch out for the De Valera cottage, the childhood home of Ireland’s third president.
