Castlewellan: Electric Mountain Biking Escape

About This Tour

The Mourne Mountains are some of the most dramatic landscapes in Ireland, and there is no better way to explore them than on an electric mountain bike. Based at the Castlewellan Hub inside the scenic Castlewellan Forest Park, this e-bike experience gives you the freedom to ride further, see more and feel incredible doing it.

You will be set up with a top-of-the-range Cube e-bike that handles everything from smooth forest trails to rugged mountain tracks. The electric assist means hills that would normally have you pushing become exhilarating climbs, and the range lets you cover distances that would be impossible on a standard bike. Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced mountain biker, the technology levels the playing field and opens up a whole new world of trails.

The region around Castlewellan is packed with things to discover. Ancient ruins, castle remains, monasteries reclaimed by nature, dramatic coastline and award-winning mountain bike trails all sit within riding distance. You can follow one of the provided route maps for a self-guided adventure, or book a guided experience if you want someone to show you the hidden gems. Either way, you will come back buzzing.
