Embark on the Strangford Lough Cycle Trail, a moderate touring bicycle route that guides you through the scenic Strangford & Lecale Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. This journey spans 35.2 miles (56.7 km) and involves a total elevation gain of 1458 feet (444 metres). You can expect to complete the entire loop in about 3 hours and 26 minutes, enjoying panoramic views of Strangford Lough, the Irish Sea coast, and the distant Mourne Mountains as you pedal.

The route is well-signposted in many areas, which helps with navigation, allowing you to focus on the beautiful surroundings.
This route offers a diverse and engaging ride, winding through picturesque coastal landscapes and rolling farmland. You will find plenty of opportunities for wildlife spotting along the way.
