There is also a safe track suitable for all on the Muckross side of town which brings you all the way from the Flesk Bridge to Muckross and onto Torc and Dinis. Keep in mind walkers and jaunting cars also use this track.

If you want to prolong this spin around Muckross, the Muckross-Dinis loop cycle is a very enjoyable trip. Be sure to travel the loop in an anti-clockwise direction as you will be sharing the pathway with many walkers and cyclists. Stop off at Dinis Cottage for a snack before returning home. Beware, this path takes you out on the main Killarney-Kenmare road for a short distance before turning off again into the Park. This is a particularly busy stretch of road.

For the more adventurous and experienced cyclist, the Gap of Dunloe trip is a fantastic day out. Cycle out to Kate Kearney’s Cottage at the entrance to the Gap of Dunloe. From here take the narrow road up to the head of the Gap (caution advised as you will be sharing this very narrow road with walkers, jaunting cars and cars) and down the other side to Lord Brandon’s Cottage from where a boat will take you and bike back to Ross Castle.
