The Green Heartlands Cycle Route is a fully marked cycling tour which takes you through the splendour of the south Roscommon countryside. The terrain of the local landscape throughout the 217km (135 miles) is generally flat with occasional stretches of gently sloping hills which take the cyclist through a varied countryside of farmland, bog, forest, wetlands, rivers and lakes.

The touring cyclist can experience the beauty of Lough Ree and sense the magnificence of the River Shannon. The circuit, divided into a series of daily routes, will take you through a host of small rural villages and within close proximity of the larger provincial towns of Roscommon, Athlone and Ballinasloe.

Along each route cyclists can access a range of leisure facilities and amenities, many suited to special interest visitors. These include walking routes, monastic sites, archeological monuments, heritage centres and museums, craft workshops, wildlife and conservation areas, as well as boating fishing, golf, horse riding and bowling.

Accommodation is available en route. Contact The Visitor Centre, Athleague for further details.
