Description by the author

Level: Easy

Distance: 10km (height gain: 130m)

This flat route loops around Muckross Lake in Killarney National Park. It follows traffic-free paths and tracks through beautiful ancient oak forest, offering amazing views over the lakes and surrounding mountains. While the route is short, there’s so much to see that you could easily spend a day meandering along it, soaking up the spectacular scenery. Note that cyclists are requested to follow the route around the lake in an anti-clockwise direction.

Pit-stop: There is a large café at Muckross House (heritageireland.ie) and the Dinis Cottage Tea Rooms near the midway point serves tea and coffee.
