Outing Highlights
Monastic Lorrha: a millennium of stones and stories
The Monastic Settlement tour guides riders to Lorrha, a village with roughly 1,500 years of ecclesiastical history, multiple churches reaching back as far as 1,000 years and an 800‑year‑old castle—an immersive cultural focus within the guided options.
Lake Shores: quiet lanes along Lough Derg
The Lake Shores Group Cycle traces lanes and vistas from Luska to Terryglass, keeping close to Lough Derg’s shoreline and offering the calm, scenic riding that makes short group cycles appealing.
Flexible eBikes and self‑guided options
Beyond guided outings, guests can rent an eBike for the day—with small, medium and large sizes available—and opt to follow provided routes on a Garmin GPS or explore on their own.
