Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Centre
The Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trails are the largest trail network of it’s kind in Ireland and provides many options for off-
road cycling in the mountains. Forest road climbs lead you into tight twisty single track with loads of ups and downs, tight
turns and technical rocky bits. The trails range from a moderate 6 kilometre Greenwood loop to the demanding Castlepook
loop, over 50 kilometres in length!
The trails are laid out as ‘stacked loops’ - this means that each loop leads onto the next and rejoins it on the way back. The
loops are way marked in one direction – just pick the colour of the loop
