Scenic Routes

We have enjoyed many a day’s cycle exploring all that the area has to offer. We have mapped out a handful of our favourite routes along with Things to Do and Things to See along the way.

Our favourite of all and most suitable for all the family is to Take a Trip along the Carlingford Lough Greenway.

On 10th July 2025, the fabulous boardwalk that carries the Carlingford Lough Greenway along the Newry River from the border to Victoria Lock was completed. Now, the Carlingford Lough Greenway extends all the way from Carlingford Marina to Newry, a distance of around 19km. From Newry, you can pick up the Portadown to Newry Canal Greenway which is also largely flat, and from Portadown, take the ‘Black Paths’ to Lough Neagh. Lots of options for you to choose the perfect distance for a short family ride, or to cycle much longer distances, largely on the Greenway.

Do you want to enjoy a quick spin and visit one (or two !) of the fabulous cafes along the route, or bring a picnic and find yourself the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the views, or take a ride for the day and visit any of the historic sites on the Cooley Peninsula – the options are there, the choice is yours !

We offer experienced advice on what hire period is best to suit your needs..

Carlingford Greenway

Scenic Routes

The Carlingford Lough Greenway walking, running and cycling trail is Ireland’s fastest growing and most sought-after tourism attraction. Running along the coast of the Cooley Peninsula in County Louth, across the border to Newry in County Down.

The trail begins at Carlingford Marina (where there is parking) and travels along the shore of Carlingford Lough to the quaint village of Omeath, where there are cafes, pubs, shops, toilets and a children’s playground. In Summer 2025, the greenway extension to connecting Omeath to Victoria Lock on the Newry Ship Canal was completed. From there, you can ride along the Newry Ship Canal Greenway into the city of Newry.

Offering mild gradients courtesy of its initial beginning as a railway line and with magnificent landscape backdrops such as Coooley Mountains, Mourne Mountains and Carlingford Lough .

The Greenway has something unique for each and every visitor.

Customer reviews

These people think we’re awesome. The feeling is mutual!

Great friendly service with good quality bikes. Easy to book and situated perfectly to cycle the Carlingford Lough Greenway. We are a senior group with limited cycling expericence, we were looked after very well and had an amazing experience. Richard could not have been more helpful and accommodating.

Absolutely great experience but the views from the greenway are absolutely stunning the bikes are in great order and the man made sure they were of the right height which is very important helmets are provided locks and we took our grandchildren in one of the buggys which was brilliant fun value for money and an absolute gentleman to deal with we will definitely be back

Had the loveliest day taking these bikes out. They were comfy. Have a pouch for some of your bits. Helmets are also supplied. Really reasonable price too. The owner was a lovely fella. We were late and instead of deducting the time he started it from when we got there. This might not always be the case when super busy but we appreciate that he did that for us. He's very knowledgeable about the route, cafes to stop off at, bits of the terrain that are a bit more bumpy etc. It's all flat, the odd small hill, a few gates to open - easy peasy. A really lovely cycle from the pick up point of bikes with gorgeous views. Would really recommend especially with this bike hire company. Thank you for a lovely day.

This bike rental is my absolute favourite thing to do in Carlingford! On yer bike offer great service, they are always friendly and helpful and the bikes are in excellent condition. 100% recommend.

Fantastic family outing on the stunning Carlingford to Omeath Greenway. Brilliant service, advice and bikes from On Yer Bike, thank you. An ideal total distance of 14km out and back for those towing trailers or with children. The backdrop of the mountains and Lough along with scatterings of sheep on a sunny day made for a memorable experience.

Brilliant bike hire service; Richard is a real gent. The cycle free ways in the area are well done and very scenic. Route will be expanded in coming months during 2025. Bike hire provides bikes for everyone including kids, eBikes, etc. Recommend!
