Quick ride by bicycle from Tallaght to Clondalkin

Hop on your bike in lively Tallaght—one of Dublin’s biggest suburbs, known for cool spots like The Square shopping centre and the modern Civic Theatre. From there, you’ll cruise north toward Clondalkin on about 14 km of mainly cycleways and smooth, paved paths, making it a comfortable spin for nearly any rider. The route is mostly flat (with a gentle overall descent), and while you’ll pass a few quiet and busier roads, the majority of your ride sticks to bike-friendly lanes.

As you roll into Clondalkin, you’ll spot the iconic round tower—one of Ireland’s few remaining early medieval towers. It’s a great place to explore, maybe grab a coffee, and unwind after your cycle. All in all, it’s a straightforward and scenic ride that links two of Dublin’s most storied suburbs. Perfect for a weekend cruise!
