Cycling offers a unique opportunity to embrace the enchanting surroundings while enjoying the freedom and excitement of two-wheeled exploration. Cycle along the river bank or across the estate and take in breathtaking views of the Ashford Estate and County Mayo. Whether you're a dedicated cyclist or simply seeking an unforgettable outdoor adventure, Ashford Castle provides the perfect backdrop for unforgettable rides and lifelong memories.
The Ashford Estate itself has some great cycling trails and the surrounding countryside, with its relatively quiet roads and spectacular scenery, is a cyclist’s haven. Cycle hire is available at the hotel and we can suggest a variety of popular routes.
