Skibbereen Cycle Hub Loop 2
23.9 km2 hr 20 minChallengingLoop251 m climb
This loop is south-west of Skibbereen and starts at the Heritage Centre, passing through a beautiful part of the country. There is an option to continue on a linear there-and-back section from Lough Nacartan to Baltimore. While the loop part is the easiest of the three Cycle Hub Loops, the linear section includes the challenging Lough Hyne, some very steep hills, narrow roads and poor surfaces. Care is required on some sections and at some junctions.
