Lough Gur Cycling Tour
About this event
To coincide with Limerick Bike Week 2022 Lough Gur will launch a new cycling tour of the area. As an international site of significance due to the abundance of archaeological monuments, environmental riches and winding country roads, Lough Gur makes the ideal location for cycling tours. To celebrate Limerick Bike Week 2022 we are offering this 2 hour tour for free. Your cycling guide will bring you from the lakefront in Lough Gur along the shared roads pace to the Carraig Aille stone forts. From this site you will view the mountain ranges for miles whiles hearing about the early settlers and Vikings who made Lough Gur their home. From this point the cycling tour will make its way to New Church and the Lough Gur Wedge Tomb and on to the Holy Well at St Patrickswell all the while spotting important landmarks and archaeological wonders that dot the landscape. As there are hills along the roads of Lough Gur a good level of fitness and cycling ability is required. Suitable for 12+ years. Participants are asked to bring their own bikes. Note the route may vary on the day to coincide with weather conditions and tour guide's advice.
