Donegal Coast One Day E-Bike Tour
Tour Overview
Explore the varied and dramatic coast in the area around the Sliabh Liag Cliffs and Glencolmcille. Take in the breathtaking views while you cycle at ease up every hill on one of our top of the range e-bikes.
This one day e-bike tour brings you to Europe’s highest sea cliffs at Sliabh Liag. You will also visit the Silver Strand — one of the world’s most beautiful beaches. In the Glencolmcille Valley you can explore ancient graves, monuments and standing stones. The pace you cycle at is up to you, but to get the most from your experience it is best to allow at least 4-5 hours.
The tour begins in Carrick Village where you can pick up your electric bike. We will set you up with your e-bike and give you route directions along with guide notes to places of interest and sights along the way.
From Carrick you cycle the dramatic winding road to the viewing point at the Sliabh Liag Cliffs. Return to Carrick and cycle a dramatic loop taking in the Sliver Strand and Glencolmcille (Glencolumbkille).
