Description by the author

The Sheep’s Head cycle route is one of the most scenic cycle routes in Cork and one for which you should grab your bike to explore to ensure that you will have the best experience possible.

Starting at Ballylickey, cyclists will have plenty of opportunities to soak in the panoramic views and natural beauty while on this 120km (70-mile) route that runs through charming villages and quaint little towns, all of which have retained a traditional Irish atmosphere.  

It’s important to note that this is a long route and one which you should certainly give yourself an ample amount of time for.
