Northern Ireland, part of the UK, is a blind spot for many when it comes to cycling. It does not have the recognisability of the <a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1495\" href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/yorkshire-more-than-just-harrogate\/\">Yorkshire Dales<\/a>, it doesn't bite as well as <a data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"1586\" href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/peak-hunting-the-peak-district\/\">The Peak District<\/a> or does not have the ruggedness of <a href=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/en\/stories\/scotland\/scotland-highlands-and-more-2\/\">Scotland<\/a>. Not to mention the lack of alpine cols, but then again, what do you want on an island far from there. Still, it is definitely worth taking the plunge (if you are in the area) and exploring Northern Ireland further. We went in search of scenic routes and then arrived at a round trip around the Mourne Mountains. Not unkind, even if we say so ourselves! Cycling in Northern Ireland may be on your wish list.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"563\" data-id=\"2227\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3e656c481c7a49a2b366d4f8696b17b2-1024x563.jpeg\" alt=\"View from the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-2227\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3e656c481c7a49a2b366d4f8696b17b2-1024x563.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3e656c481c7a49a2b366d4f8696b17b2-300x165.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3e656c481c7a49a2b366d4f8696b17b2-768x422.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3e656c481c7a49a2b366d4f8696b17b2-1536x845.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3e656c481c7a49a2b366d4f8696b17b2.jpeg 1900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"puntje-van-aandacht\">Point to note<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Northern Ireland is just a small country (or country state) with an area of 14,130 square kilometres. A good bit smaller than the Netherlands (with over 40,000 square kilometres, not a big player either). In this northern tip of Ireland (if it can be called that), you'll find a beautiful rugged landscape with a mountain range in the south-east corner that just outstrips the hill format. The Mourne Mountains are much sung about in (Northern) Irish folk songs, and rightly so. It is beautiful<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The main summit that defines the skyline is Slieve Donard. Northern Ireland's highest mountain is 852 metres high, making Slieve stand head and shoulders above it. The surrounding peaks are best known to locals as 'The Mournes', although in real life they also bear names like Slieve Muck, Slieve Binnion and Slieve Bernagh. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2263\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mournesjoecornish-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"The Dramatic Mourne Mountains, Northern Ireland, where you can cycle beautifully\" class=\"wp-image-2263\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mournesjoecornish-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mournesjoecornish-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mournesjoecornish-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mournesjoecornish.jpeg 1400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mourne-ing-round\">Mourne-ing Round<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the most out of this area, it is best to start in the town of Newcastle, on the Irish Sea. From here, you have two choices: head inland, or follow a stretch of the beautiful coastal route towards Kilkeel. We choose option two. This route winds out of the city and then slowly goes up into the mountains. From then on, you actually have the mountains continuously on your right while you will climb few mountains in the first part. IN total, this route is 73 kilometres and you can get ready for a slightly longer climb with a fine percentage and a calf bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All in all, you mostly have beautiful views and if you drive the first part of the route (southwards) you should especially look back now and then, towards Newcastle. You will see Dundrum Bay, St John's Point Lighthouse and the Slieve Donard Hotel with its red bricks, among others. Gorgeous though. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-3 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2245\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/download-2-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Cycling along the coast overlooking the Mourne Mountains\" class=\"wp-image-2245\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/download-2-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/download-2-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/download-2-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/download-2-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/download-2.jpeg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>(c) discover Northern Ireland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"885\" height=\"560\" data-id=\"2246\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/121100034-588d05da-0032-4f31-b529-b614ed75ac98.jpeg\" alt=\"Cycling in Northern Ireland is climbing\" class=\"wp-image-2246\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/121100034-588d05da-0032-4f31-b529-b614ed75ac98.jpeg 885w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/121100034-588d05da-0032-4f31-b529-b614ed75ac98-300x190.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/121100034-588d05da-0032-4f31-b529-b614ed75ac98-768x486.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 885px) 100vw, 885px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">(c) discover Northern Ireland<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"verder-naar-het-zuiden\">Further south<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You pass Bloody Bridge on the way towards Annalong and Kilkeel (what wonderful names). In these parts, such names are no mean feat. In this case, it goes back to an incident in 1641 where prisoners were to be exchanged between two fighting parties. When the exchange was to take place, it turned out that one of the parties had already killed the prisoners. In retaliation, the other side's surviving prisoners of war were killed at Bloody Bridge. Painful history. Now there is mostly a beautiful view of Slieve Donard across the country. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-4 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"532\" data-id=\"2252\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-2-17.jpeg\" alt=\"The view from Blood Bridge while cycling in Northern Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-2252\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-2-17.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-2-17-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-2-17-768x511.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>View from Bloody Bridge (c) WalkNI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" data-id=\"2253\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-5.jpeg\" alt=\"The view from Slieve Donard in Northern Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-2253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-5.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-5-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Ti-5-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption><meta charset=\"utf-8\">View from Slieve Donard (c) WalkNI<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From Kilkeel you head towards Greencastle and there you drive through green meadows. Here you see something typical, namely stone walls that seem to have been cut rather flat. Not entirely strange, as this part was an airbase belonging to the Americans during World War II. It was demolished after the war, but the cut stone walls are still a silent witness of that time. As are many farms that served as military buildings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"klaar-om-te-klimmen\">Ready to climb<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>After you reach the town of Rostrevor, the better climbing starts. Rostrevor is a perfect place to stop for a coffee and enjoy the view. This place is one of the most expensive pieces of land in Northern Ireland. In itself, we can understand why.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-5 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"512\" height=\"341\" data-id=\"2259\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/unnamed-1.jpeg\" alt=\"Views of the town of Rostrevor in Northern Ireland.\" class=\"wp-image-2259\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/unnamed-1.jpeg 512w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/unnamed-1-300x200.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 512px) 100vw, 512px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" data-id=\"2260\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3740015.jpeg\" alt=\"Views of the Mourne Mountains in Northern Ireland\" class=\"wp-image-2260\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3740015.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3740015-300x225.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/3740015-768x576.jpeg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>From here, you'll go up tight and pack a nice 320 altimeters in 7.6 kilometres. Note. There is a 1.5-kilometre section, just below the summit, where the gradients are around 10%. That really takes some biting. You drive along Rostrevor Road here, and on your right all the time you see the forest of Rostrevor. The view with the Mournes is really stunning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-6 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" data-id=\"2261\" src=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mourne_4-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"Cycling in Northern Ireland on scenic roads with views.\" class=\"wp-image-2261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mourne_4-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mourne_4-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mourne_4-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/cyclingdestination.cc\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/mourne_4-1.jpeg 1437w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Need we say Mour(ne)?
