After a stop at Inchagoill and Cong, we head towards the dramatic chain of mountains known as the Twelve Bens. We visit the imposing Gothic style abbey of Kylemore and conclude with the picture perfect seaside villages of Cashel and Roundstone. Our bicycle tours are created as a vacation, not a race. Our tour of Ireland's Western Shore gives one a great taste of Ireland. These are some of the gentlest and most scenic rides in Europe.
Routes weave along the Atlantic, through peat bogs and colorful villages.
The riding is a mix of flat and gently rolling terrain. There is one long hill but no major climbs on this tour. Day 1 and 2 - Pick up in Shannon and transfer to Gregans Castle, an elegant villa dating back to the eady 1600s. Introductions and a warm-up ride through the back lanes of Ballyvaughan. Welcome drinks in the rose garden and dinner at our inn.
