This is a full day guided bike tour along quiet roads, cycle paths and tow paths of the Grand Canal and the Arthur's Way.
The tour begins at Dublin's Heuston Station, from where there is a short train ride to the historic village of Sallins.
Visit the recently opened Malt to Vault Exhibition in Ardclough Village, homestead of Arthur Guinness himself, and choose to stop for refreshments or lunch Arthur's Coffee House or at a 19th century period house.
From there, pedal along the towpath passing the barge dwellings moored along the canal, before reaching the historic town of Celbridge where Arthur opened his first brewery, and hear stories of old such as Jonathan Swift and a secret affair!
Cycle through the newly upgraded greenway through the 18th Century Castletown House and Estate, where you can see the grand Palladian style house and ponder the aristocratic lifestyle of times past.
Returning towards the canal via a different route, you will enjoy a quiet, timeless country road dedicated to cycling!
Returning to Arthur's Way, you'll visit Oughterard Church and Graveyard, the resting place of Arthur and his family, before following safe and dedicated cycle paths through the historic village of Kill before returning to Sallins, and catching the train back to Dublin.
This is a full day tour jamb packed with history, fun and scenic views.
