Discover Connemara by Bike

Connemara is a striking region on the west coast of Ireland, known for its rugged shoreline, open boglands, mountain passes, and small villages scattered between sea and hills. It is an area where the landscape constantly shifts between cliffs, bays, lakes, and quiet country roads.

For cyclists, Connemara offers a variety of routes, from gentle coastal spins to longer loops through valleys and over mountain passes. Riders can follow quieter back roads, coastal routes with views across the Atlantic, or more challenging climbs that reward them with wide open panoramas.

In and around Connemara, local bike shops typically provide bicycle rentals and basic gear for visitors. Depending on the shop, riders may be able to rent standard bikes, helmets, locks, high-visibility vests, simple repair tools, and other everyday cycling accessories that make it easier to explore the area on two wheels.
