LIST: Kilkenny’s top cycling trails and tours - get active!

#4 - Self-Guided Bike ‘N’ Hike (Self Guided)

Enjoy a peaceful bike ride in the tranquility of the countryside on a cycle from Kilkenny City via the Sion Road to the picturesque village of Bennettsbridge. Bennettsbridge is a picturesque village located along the River Nore just ten minutes’ drive from Kilkenny city. It is a feast for craft lovers and pending the removal of restrictions you can visit some local craft producers such as Moth To A Flame candlemakers and Nicholas Mosse Pottery. 

The bikes can be locked up and left at the Village Pump outside Tynan’s Butcher Shop and Kilkenny Cycling Tours will retrieve them. Bring a packed lunch or enjoy a Take Away coffee and cake to refresh and re-energise before your return back to Kilkenny city. Make sure to allow plenty of time for your return cycle, as it should take approximately 45 – 50 minutes. Discover some of the best views of Ireland on this bike and hike tour from Kilkenny!
