Get away from it all on a Cork Bike Hire rental or tour. Cycle along the world’s second largest natural harbour. Pass Páirc Ui Chaoimh Stadium, the home of Cork GAA, where Ireland’s ancient games are played. See Blackrock Castle, a 16th century castle and home to an observatory. Grab a coffee or ice cream at Passage West village or Blackrock Pier.

Take the cross-river ferry to extend your cycle to the cathedral town of Cobh, the final berthing place of the Titanic. Alternatively, head through Cork City to Blarney Castle and Gardens, the home of the Blarney Stone.

Guided Cork Harbour ebike tours are available from May to September.

The staff at Cork Bike Hire advise on suitable bikes and routes. Adult and children’s bikes are available along with chariot trailers and child seats.
