Once at Drumshanbo Village there are loads of places where you can sample some of the local produce (ask for our recommendations for the best current places when you pick up your bike!).

Things to Do

There are lots of options to enjoy in the area such as a stroll around Sliabh an Iarainn Visitors Centre, take a dip in the open air heated swimming pool (July and August only) or let the kids enjoy some time at the play ground at Acres Lake Amenity Area.
