A cycling route starting in Cherry Orchard, Leinster, Ireland.

Overview

About this route

0

The route includes the ride from Clondalkin in Dublin to Blessington. The detour around the lake is called Lake Drive and is about 70 km. Unfortunately, my bike computer wasn’t working, so I can’t reproduce the exact number of kilometres, but considering we got a bit lost on the way to Blessington, that’s definitely about the distance.

Lake Drive around the lake does not follow the shoreline directly, but the views are excellent. The lake covers over 500 acres. The route is quite hilly, with several arduous climbs, sometimes steep. The town of Blessington is located just over 30 km from Dublin, so you can easily cycle there, circle the lake and return home.

A full-day trip. I left home at 8:15 and returned at 7 pm. We made three stops: a quick breakfast in Blessington, on benches in the newly designed centre, then a light snack ‘in the hills’ next to a local pub that was locked up tight, and finally a long lunch at Murphy's Bar in Blessington. The return home was by car.
