This cycle is the more challenging of the three Louisburgh loops. With two streams to ford and unbelievably spectacular panoramic vistas, it is an exciting trip. It brings the cyclist inland to the Sheeffry Hills, traverses isolated country on roads almost completely free of traffic where the tranquility is amazing, and includes a steep climb (or walk) up to the summit of Derrymore.
