Ballyshannon Cycle Hub - Route 1

This route will first take cyclists to Assaroe Lake. A short but steep climb past the impressive hydroelectric dam leads to a leisurely spin along the shores of the lake. The road meanders across causeways and lake islands until the waters narrow to the River Erne. Another steep climb through a landscape of forests leads onto a plateau of high ground near the village of Cashelard. Descending to the seaside town of Rossnowlagh, cyclists will cycle the length of the beach. Along the way back to Ballyshannon are spectacular views from Creevy headland, and the waterwheel and Irelands oldest bridge at Abbey Mill.
