Cycling Tours of Ireland - The Medieval South East Safari
South East Ireland Cycling Tour
Highlights of your Cycling Tour In Ireland:
 
- The medieval town of Wexford steeped in history and lore
- A scenic ferry journey along Passage East to the the village of Ring.
- Following the route of the river blackwater to the historic town of Lismore
- The stunning majesty of the Knockmealdown Mountains
- One of Ireland's most famous landmarks - The Rock of Cashel

On this tour we explore the beautiful southeast corner of Ireland. An area of Ireland rich in medieval heritage, stunning scenery and beautiful coastline. A part of the country perhaps a little less discovered, which gives us enormous potential for a labyrinth of unexplored backroads. Our tour takes us into the heart of Tipperary before winding up in the beautiful medieval city of Kilkenny.

Day 3. Passage East - The day begins with a ferry across Passage East and on along the beautiful southern coastline to the Irish speaking village of Ring.
Day 4. Youghal and Lismore Village - We continue on along the coast to the seaside village of Youghal for lunch. In the afternoon following the River Blackwater to the historic town of Lismore where we are staying for two nights.

Distances: The average cycling distance is an easy 30m (45km) with longer routes being available each day. The safaris are suitable for adults of all ages, but a certain level of fitness is required and taking in a few practice rides is strongly recommended. The tours are not suited for children under 13 years of age. The Ring of Kerry, the Highlands of Donegal and the Antrim tours have more hills than the other routes and are more suited to the keener cyclist.
Meals: Your guide will recommend a lunch stop each day where a snack lunch will cost between €7 and €10. A group evening meal is organised by the guide each night which costs between €18 and €25
One evening meal during the tour is included in the tour price.

Starting Times: Each of the tours start with a meeting group at 6:30pm on the Saturday evening in a central hotel close to the local train station and bus station. This is only a meeting point, typically the group will be staying in nearby guesthouses. The guide is able to return to the meeting place at 9:30pm again that evening and the following morning for those arriving late. After an introductory talk the guide will organise an evening meal and direct you to your first nights accommodation.
Insurance: There is an additional charge of €35 for insurance cover. We insist that riders avail of our insurance policy or else have alternative cover in place.
