Site Description

Ballinastoe Mountain Bike Trail system, almost 14 kilometres, takes the rider through some beautiful forest with views east over Calary Common and the Sugarloaf with the sea beyond. At the top of the trail,  Lough Tay and the mountains beyond give views worth the effort of the climb. The trail accesses many types of terrain from open heather moor land on the top through thicket spruce and Scot’s Pine on the lower section. The trail is quite exposed on the upper slopes and can be very windy in poor weather – dress accordingly.

The trail system, designed by one of the world leaders in the sport, is a one-way system constructed to give a challenging and rewarding ride.

Please ensure you are equipped fully to undertake this adventure sport and respect other trail users at all times.
