Cycle Touring Ireland: Biking the Irish Coast

The UK & Ireland bike tour continues, and we’d arrived on the Emerald Isle! This time, we’d cycle tour from Dublin to Cork for 5 days. Cycling along the east coast of Ireland and we camped and pedalled our way through the Irish countryside. Bike travel in Ireland is stunning, and Irish hospitality didn’t disappoint. We met countless local Irish people and even another cycle touring couple from France who we joined forces with for two days. We wild camped on a beach, were hosted by Irish Gaelic speakers who taught us about Irish culture, and enjoyed the last of the warm weather as summer began to recede into autumn.

CONTEXT:
In 2021, Jill and I were on a long-distance bicycle tour from Sussex to Shetland! On my Ridgeback Voyage and her Dawes Horizon, we were headed for a movie date at the most remote cinema in Britain! Cycle touring so far would take us over five months, through almost all the terrain the British Isles has to offer.

Cycle touring as a couple was a first for us, and would take us through England, Wales, The Isle of Man, Ireland, Northern Ireland, and Scotland, finishing on one of the most remote islands in the UK: Out Skerries, in Shetland, home to the most remote cinema on the British Isles.

Big thank you as always to Jill for some fabulous B-Roll!
