Excursión ciclista de un día de Bantry a Kenmare

Get ready for a stunning ride from Bantry to Kenmare—two gems nestled in Ireland’s rugged southwest. Starting in the colorful harbor town of Bantry, you’ll quickly trade village bustle for winding, peaceful roads flanked by wild countryside. This route is a solid challenge, with over 600 meters of climbing, but the quiet lanes and sweeping mountain views are well worth the effort.

You’ll skirt the edge of the Caha Mountains, so expect dramatic landscapes and glimpses of the Beara Peninsula along the way. Almost half the journey is on paved surfaces, but don’t be surprised by a mix of road conditions—it’s part of the charm. Most traffic sticks to the main thoroughfares, leaving you free to enjoy the peace and fresh air.

Your ride ends in Kenmare, a lively heritage town famous for its food scene and as a jumping-off point for the Ring of Kerry. Treat yourself to a coffee or a pint and soak up the atmosphere—you’ve earned it after a memorable spin across some of Ireland’s best cycling country!
