Nearby Activities

Bike park Ireland - Experience the thrill of gravity-fed (downhill) mountain biking at Bike Park Ireland. It’s very similar to skiing, which is how it all started in the 1980’s. With skiing you use a ski-lift to the top, here they use Army Trucks!  The Army Trucks, each with 30 bus seats and a bike trailer, will transport you and your bike to the top of the trails and operates every 15-20mins. From the top you choose which trail you want to cycle down and when you return to the pick-up-point at base, the Army Truck will take you back up to the top again, giving you lots of bike time. visit http://www.bikeparkireland.ie/
