Best Cycling Routes for Bike Lovers

Enthusiastic to find the perfect place to cycle while in Wexford?

 

Whether you are looking for a quiet scenic route or maybe a more challenging one, County Wexford has it all – from gentle road routes to mountain biking for those craving an adrenaline rush. So why not bring your bike to County Wexford and take a spin around Wexford’s most loved cycling routes!

 

Our #TravelTuesday tip: As always remember safety first – make sure you have a helmet and protective gear for more challenging routes. Be wary of other road users where routes take you along busier stretches of road. Reflective gear is also a must!

 

For this week’s #TravelTuesday post, we have compiled two fantastic routes perfect for bikers to cycle all year round, along with some places to stop to stay along the way:

 

The Eurovelo Cycling Route

The Eurovelo Cycling Route through South County Wexford is a scenic cycling route that takes you along some of the county’s lesser-known highways and byways from Rosslare Harbour in the East to New Ross in the West.

The Eurovelo1 Atlantic Coast Route is a cycling route that stretches over 9,100 km from Nordkap in Norway around the Atlantic Coast to Sagres in Portugal. The segment through County Wexford is 120 km long. There are 15 different Eurovelo routes marked throughout Europe.
