On 'Yer Bike for St. Patrick's Day Weekend

Northern Ireland MTB Trails Ready for St. Patrick’s Day Weekend!

Mountain bikers across the island of Ireland are expected to visit the mountain bike trails in Northern Ireland over the bank holiday weekend as part of the #OnYerBike campaign.

Northern Ireland boasts 6 incredible trail centres dotted across the region that means you’ll just be a short trip away whether you’re coming from Sligo or Donegal; or from Dublin or Monaghan.

With the recent addition of Gortin Glen Forest Park Mountain Bike Trails, riders coming from the Republic of Ireland can experience the rugged beauty of the Sperrin Mountains while riding in Gortin or, NI’s hidden jewel in the collection, Davagh Forest, home to some of the most epic rock drops you'll find.

Better known are the trails located in the Mourne Mountains, as varied as they are popular. Castlewellan MTB Trails enjoyed their busiest ever year in 2021 with mountain biking exploding in popularity over lockdowns. With a fantastic range of black, red, blue and green trails as well as a top class trailhead provider in Life Adventure Centre, Castlewellan has everything you could want in a national trail centre.

Rostrevor has also seen popularity increase over the last year with rider figures growing by around 12%, illustrative of the epic views, incredible riding and well earned reputation which Rostrevor has developed over the past 9 years.
