With quiet roads, striking scenery and brimming with 5,000 years of
heritage, north Leinster is a marvellous region to discover by
bike. These thirty routes, exploring coast, lake, river and canal
routes, vary in distance and difficulty and are graded to suit all
abilities. Greenways along canals and old railway lines are ideal
for novices and families, while the adventurous can take a
challenge through the mountains of Louth's breathtaking Cooley
Peninsula. Each cycle is prefaced with summary information and
illustrated with photos, a custom-drawn map and a gradient graph.
Anecdotes, history and profiles of interesting locals are included
throughout, adding colour to coffee breaks in the sleepy villages
and medieval towns that dot the picturesque landscape. All but one
of the routes are looped back to the train stations from which they
started, making for perfect days out. Visit the early Christian
settlement of Monasterboice or the original home of the Book of
Kells. Take in spectacular views across Dublin Bay or the legendary
Hill of Tara. This practical and informative guide covers the
scenic and the curious in this land of saints and scholars.
