Off to the in-laws for summer hols. Any advice on trails (natural or fake) in Southern Ireland greatly appreciated.

I went to the SSWC in Ballyhoura and really enjoyed the stuff round there but it was years ago, no idea if its changed much.

Great trails in Wicklow , I belive near Powerscourt. Or if not too far to travel north awesome trails in Rostrevor

Any of these any use?

What part of the country will you be in?

Ballyhouras are excellent as a trail centre. Lots near Dublin / Wicklow check out 3 Rock. Haven’t been there but there is a new trail centre near Galway.

Loads of fireroad which is often a bit rougher than UK equivalent in proper mountains, ignore Coillte (Irish Forestry Commission) No cycling signs unless they are recent and relate to actual logging activity.
