Ballyhoura Mountain Bike Trails — Attraction in County Limerick

So I parked in this carpark headed uphill a strenuous stretch, until I came to the boardwalk (Do not enter on it), but it's fine to use, just be careful a lot of bog holes if you don't stay on the boardwalk. Climbing up to Castle Philip and crossing over the bog land over another boardwalk type of thing, very swampy in places, but weather was good up to Seefin East trip point then straight across to Seefin highest point. I was told previously to follow purple arrows if you choose this route it's ok, just all forest trail, but instead of going downhill which is on a bend and just brings you back to Carpark, swing uphill heading for Castle Philip and Seefin East is on your left again with a sign saying do not use boardwalk, but just be careful as very swampy, when you are finished viewing either head over to Seefin highest peak which you can see directly in front of you if you are standing with your back to Seefin East trig point, or you can just go back the way you came uphill, but heading downhill following purple markers around the bend back to carpark. Fantastic day's...

Spent a few days riding this area a couple of years ago. Very well layed out and climbing straight from the car park. There was hire bikes available at that time but not sure if this is still the case. I remember an honesty box for parking during the week but the centre is manned over the weekend. Showers were available for use after the ride, vending machines also available. The management have obviously visited other mountain biking areas and have taken all the good ideas and created this, I especially remember the one way system on the board walk over the bog. Well worth a detour to visit if you are...

For me Ballyhoura has the best MTB trails in Ireland, very well thought out trail head, fantastic facilities, bike hire, cafe, MTB shop repairs, changing rooms, showers and toilets, plus secure parking, and I have to say since they have built the new Downhill trails as well something for everyone one from flowy single track to super fast flowy downhill and some lovely technical trails, all cleverly linked together so you can just have a great days fun, Recommend Ballyhoura MTB trails as a must visit and a super day of fun riding...
