Short Routes

You don’t have to cycle for miles and miles to enjoy cycling in Northern Ireland.  Country parks, forest parks, tow paths, disused railways are home to short cycle routes under five miles, many are traffic free so therefore perfect for some family fun.

Northern Ireland has lots to offer both the experienced and novice cyclist. Good quality accommodation to suit every pocket is plentiful, and routes outlined on the website are always within reach of a good bed for the night and a hearty breakfast in the morning.

Maps are available for all featured routes. Visit www.sustransshop.co.uk or contact the nearest Tourist Information Centre. Charges may vary, check when ordering.
