    A 10–15 minute pause for coffee, water or a snack — a chance to stretch before the longer middle section.

    A brief stop to hydrate and rest before the return leg.

  8. Return Ride to Wilkinstown

    A relaxed spin back via Kilmainhamwood and Nobber across the same smooth surfaces and gentle gradients, arriving back in time to return bikes and wind down.

Highlights

Outing Highlights

THE DAY

A five‑hour rhythm, not a rushed loop

A full five-hour hire gives you room to settle into a steady pace, pause for coffee and photos, and truly explore rather than merely ticking off a short circuit — you can plan comfortable stops and take time at each town along the way.

THE ROUTE

Smooth, gentle greenway riding

The trail is mostly flat with a well-maintained surface and long traffic-free stretches, meaning you can focus on the scenery and the company rather than constant technical riding.

THE FINISH

A real sense of journey and reward

Moving through towns such as Nobber, Kilmainhamwood and Kingscourt gives a sense of progression; returning to Wilkinstown to trade pedals for coffee, ice cream or a bite to eat turns a bike hire into a proper day out.
