Drumsna-Sheemore loop – 24.5km

This is easily one of my favourite cycles. The views from the top of Sheemore are stunning and the leafy roads on this cycle are deliciously green!

Drumsna-Carrick-Jamestown loop – 16.3km

This route takes you into Carrick where you can enjoy a spot of shopping, a good coffee or a delicious lunch in any of the many cafes and restaurants in town.

The route we’ve chosen includes a few hills but an alternative would be to cycle on the N4 for a few miles – not quite as pleasant but a lot flatter!

Drumsna-Leitrim Village-Drumshanbo Loop – 41km

This is another stunning route. It includes a section of blueway along the Shannon-Erne Canal between Leitrim Village and Drumshanbo – both of which have lovely cafes and hotels for lunch stops. This route also includes the boardwalk across Acres Lake known locally as ‘the snake across the lake’ with fab views of Sliabh an Iarainn as you approach Drumshanbo.
