About
Cycling in Lough Boora Discovery Park offers a relaxed and scenic way to explore one of Offaly’s most distinctive landscapes. Set across restored peatlands, lakes and wetlands, the park features a network of off-road cycling routes within a perimeter of approximately 30 km, making it ideal for families, leisure cyclists and groups alike. The Park is also connected to the Grand Canal Greenway via an off-road link, given the cyclists endless possibilities to cycle both Esat to Tullamore and further afield or West towards to Shannon.
