Northern Ireland Self-Guided Bike Touring Itineraries

The entire coastline around the north-eastern part of Ireland is a succession of majestic headlands and beautiful bays, and if you appreciate dramatic seascapes, this itinerary will give you your fill! The tour is built around the Causeway Coast, which features the legendary Giant's Causeway (Ireland's first World Heritage Site) as its centrepiece, and the nine beautiful Glens of Antrim that carve through the Antrim Plateau on their way to the sea. The region, which is steeped in history, legend and folklore, provides for a magnificent bicycle tour!

The routes take you through a variety of magnificent landscapes - the tranquil islands and inlets of Strangford Lough, the rolling drumlins of St Patrick's Country, the rugged Irish Sea coastline and the beautiful Mountains of Mourne.Besides the scenery, there are attractions and sites of interest in abundance, with St Patrick, the Vikings and the Normans in succession having left their very distinctive calling cards in the region.

This tour adds two days riding in the beautiful and remote Sperrins to the Causeway Coast itinerary.
