A 100 mile circular cycle route around the magical Strangford Lough in Northern Ireland offers cyclists unbeatable views over the Irish coast and out to the Mourne Mountains.
The whole trail is on mostly-quiet roads, with a small section completely traffic-free. It is a fairly easy ride with plenty of attractive stopping off points including Delamont Country Park and the Castle Ward Estate as well as Inch Abbey, Castle Epsie and Scrabo Tower.
