This place is def the best in Ireland for mountain biking. For beginners and very experienced alike. There are loads of trial for different levels and there is a seperate walking trial so you wont be nervous about knocking anyone over.... Be careful of the boardwalks in the winter they can be slippy. Def worth a visit More

Join the Ballyhoura bears for walking experiences - the beginners walks on Saturdays are wonderful and the evening walks on Thursday nights are just magical. Highly recommend it! More
