Coast & Country E-Bike Tour

Embark on a two-day electric bike adventure along the Wild Atlantic Way, cycling from Kinsale to Clonakilty and back. On the first day, you will meet in Kinsale to receive your electric bike, helmet, and equipment, while your luggage is transferred to your B&B in Clonakilty. The route takes you past stunning coastal views at the Old Head of Kinsale, Coolmaine Beach, and Timoleague Abbey. History enthusiasts can visit the Michael Collins Centre along the way. After arriving in Clonakilty, enjoy the warm welcome of your B&B host and perhaps unwind with a pint of Guinness and live Irish music at a local pub. The evening offers the perfect chance to relax and immerse yourself in the local culture, preparing for the ride back the next day.

On the second day, after a hearty Irish breakfast, you have the option to cycle to Inchadoney Beach or explore Clonakilty town. The return ride to Kinsale follows a pre-programmed route through the scenic countryside of the Seven Heads peninsula, stopping at picturesque Dunworley Cove, Courtmacsherry for lunch, and the charming village of Ballinspittle with coffee and baked goods. The journey includes highlights like the moving statue grotto and lush green countryside, offering dramatic coastal cliffs and panoramic views. The tour is self-guided, allowing you to cycle at your own pace and explore sights along the way. Equipment includes a pre-programmed Garmin Edge Touring Sat Nav, printed map, mountain bike with touring tires, helmet, high vis vest, repair kit, lock, and bottled water. Accommodation with cooked breakfast is included, and luggage transfer can be arranged or stored in provided pannier bags. Participants are advised to wear layered clothing and a light raincoat, comfortable shoes, and sunglasses to enjoy the coastal conditions comfortably.
