The North West Trail is a 78.5-mile cycle route through counties Donegal, Tyrone, Fermanagh, Leitrim, and Sligo in the North West of Ireland.
The route travels through a wide variety of scenic landscapes, utilising quiet country roads with some traffic free sections, mostly in urban areas.
On the way, you can enjoy dramatic views of the Atlantic Ocean, with scenic cycling in remote uplands and rural villages passing through the main towns of Enniskillen, Sligo, Donegal, Lifford, Strabane and Omagh.
The North West Trail can be followed in either direction and consists mainly of quiet, virtually traffic-free minor roads and lanes with short stretches of traffic-free path.
