Cycling in Ireland

[classic33]

thanks for that the book i had gave it to a buddy in the UK .
like the map of the wild atlantic way might buy that one even tho im not heading that way but sure plans might change.

Thread on here for that, that'll take you to the site.

A word of caution/warning.
Some UK camping sites are listing sites that have either closed or no no longer accepting tents. Some have been this way for a few years, but they're still listed as camping sites.
Some local Tourist Information Centres have been closed, with others located no-where near, now dealing with enquiries. Some of these Tourist Information Centres are listed in 2017 books as being open.

Came to light as I was trying to put together a list of camp sites/B&B's up the East Coast of Clare and Galway.

In 2014 I cycled the long way round Ireland from Rosslare to Belfast. I loved it. B and bs very plentiful, camping less so in some areas. Small enough to comfortably get round. Get off the beaten track and the roads are quiet. One tip - in the west the coast roads are flattish. But if you take any short cuts across a peninsula it will mean a big climb.
Also don't forget northern Ireland, the coast road is amazing round Antrim.

Rode over there in '96/97, often the only thing on wheels moving on the roads.

Pedal a bit harder or faster.

A note of caution then, the 2017 AA Guide to Ireland is full of places that closed in 2015.
