- Cycle Touring Ireland: Biking the Irish Coast
The UK & Ireland bike tour continues, and we'd arrived on the Emerald Isle! This time, we'd cycle tour from Dublin to Cork for 5 days. Cycling along the east coast of Ireland and we camped and pedalled our way through the Irish countryside. Bike travel in Ireland is stunning, and Irish hospitality didn't disappoint. We met countless local Irish people and even another cycle touring couple from France who we joined forces with for two days. We wild camped on a beach, were hosted by Irish Gaelic speakers who taught us about Irish culture, and enjoyed the last of the warm weather as summer began to recede into autumn.
2023 Update: These cycle touring videos were filmed back in 2021. As of 2023 Jill and I are no longer together and Jill is not affiliated with this channel in any way. Wishing her all the best for the future!

I'm constantly amazed that cycle tourists skip the Dublin and Wicklow mountains on their way out of Dublin. the route down the east coast out of the city is the most prolonged traffic you can get. Whereas the mountains are so serene and spectacular. More climbing too of course.
Your right, the scenery is great but what make the journey epic is the people we meet along our path.
You've quite the eye for this sort of videoblogging (seems an inadequate word, really) and God bless you for it; amazing work and thanks for it all.
Thanks for the kind words, so glad you're enjoying the videos!
Great video. I love to see Waterford from a tourist perspective. 👍
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it!
Lovely ! My grandfather born and raised in Cork City. Took boat over to New York, where I am now. 😊
Stumbled across your channel with the Manx video, and being a Dub myself, this video has made me proud to be Irish! Your videos are informative yet intimate. Genuinely one of my favourite channels on TH-cam now! Keep up the fantastic work!
Thanks for the kind words! Really glad you're enjoying the videos, many more to come. I absolutely loved our time in Ireland. Absolutely jaw-dropping scenery up the West coast, and we experienced such fantastic hospitality from people we met along the way. Definitely plan to go back again!
@@TieranFreedman if you plan to come back again, there’ll always be a place just outside Dublin City for you!
@@TieranFreedman It is actually illegal in ireland for vans or any vehicle to splash water on you.Don't think its widely enforced but its on the books anyway.
@@liamfahy4521 Missed this comment when you originally posted it, thank you so much! 😊
@@gallowglass2630 Oh man, then there are a lot of unconvicted criminals out there that I'll see in court 😂
Your channel is so fucking underrated! I wish your channel blows up someday and people get to watch your amazing videos
Thanks for the support! Really makes my day to hear feedback like this ☺️
Well done lads. Great video. Fair play.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Although I’ve lived 21 years in Manchester, I’m fiercely proudly Irish at age 52 and still hold an Irish passport - I still have extended family in Co. Meath and I still visit them on SailRail via Holyhead - Dublin all the time - I’m delighted to see that you have got to visit Ireland - Cead Mile Failte go hEireann Agus Go Raibh Mile Maith Agait 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️
Go raibh maith agat, turas iontach a bhí ann! Both the scenery and the hospitality of the people we met in Ireland totally blew us away. Can't wait to go back for another visit some day! 🇮🇪
I first found your channel watching "the troubles video" then followed with welsh "terrorist" video, Isle of Man and now this. Damn, these movies are really made well. Such an enjoyment to watch and very soothing in a good way. At the end of this video I was filled with a sense of well being having followed your cozy (and sometimes rainy) biking trip. Keep the good content up and I wish you good luck from Sweden!
Thanks for the kind words! So glad you're enjoying the videos. Haha once we made it to Scotland it was pretty much constant rain and/or cold 😅
There are several more videos to come from this series and then a totally new series coming at the end of the year/start of next year!
@@TieranFreedman haha ouch 🙃. Nice! Looking forward to it!
Looks amazing, careful of that chicken!
That looked like a friendly and tranquil trip 👍
Yeah it was great bumping into some fellow tourers! And a few more moments of warm, sunny weather before we began our journey up the Wild Atlantic Way 🇮🇪
@@TieranFreedman looking forward to watching that 👍
God I hope you got food in the white rabbit in cork, it was right beside your hostel, incredible barbecue from that place!
Great trip! I've been cycling Ireland the other way round in 2010. For the rain just: try rainlegs . They keep your legs pretty dry and it's easier with cycling than rainthrousers.
It's such a stunning route! Glad you enjoyed the video and thanks for the recommendation, I'll look them up 😁
Hi there, I'm starting a bikepacking trip to and through Ireland next week. Currently I'm still not sure about which direction to cycle is wiser due to the wind in Ireland. I could go either from north to south or south to north on the westcoast. Do you have any reccomandation? How did it go on your way from south to north?
Good luck with your trip! I believe the prevailing wind comes from the Southeast, so South to North might give you a better chance of cycling with the wind. Having said that we still dealt with a fair bit of headwind on our way north. Wishing you many tailwinds!
Ooph, all that sand in your drive train! 😮
Just wait until the next series comes out (from the Middle East) 😅
FIRST!!! AGAIN!!!
Haha welcome back Thomas! Always look for your comment after I post 😜
Fantastic Visio ☘️☘️
@@hoangdang6869 thank you! 😁🇮🇪
Waterproofs are never waterproof in Ireland!
Should have just gone in swimming trunks!
