Embark on a moderate touring bicycle adventure around the Woodburn Reservoir Loop, a 27.0 miles (43.4 km) route that guides you through the scenic County Antrim landscape. You will gain 1037 feet (316 metres) in elevation over approximately 3 hours and 19 minutes of cycling. As you pedal, you will enjoy picturesque views of the reservoir itself, framed by forested hills and woodlands, and pass by the tranquil Monkstown Wood.
Most of the route features paved surfaces, making it accessible for many touring cyclists. However, be aware that some sections might be unpaved, which could present a greater challenge, especially if the weather is wet. Planning your ride for drier conditions will help ensure a smoother experience on these varied segments.
This route offers more than just a workout; it is an opportunity to immerse yourself in nature. Keep an eye out for diverse wildlife and plants that thrive in the surrounding forests. The loop provides a wonderful way to explore the natural beauty and serene environment of the Woodburn Forest area.
