Cycling the back roads

From the village

Quiet lanes loop from Dunfanaghy to Portnablagh, Ards and Creeslough — ideal for a gentle cycle, with bike hire available in the village.

The lanes between Dunfanaghy, Portnablagh, Ards and Creeslough are quiet, rolling and short enough for an easy half day on a bike.

A loop out to the forest park and back along the coast makes a fine morning, with a cafe stop in the middle. Bike hire is available in the village, and these roads are far gentler than the main coast road.
