Loughmoss, Carryduff, Belfast, Down

Badger Rating 3.8/5

23 miles, some tarmac and gravel riding, but loads of fantastic off-road trails, everything from fast flowing stuff to tight and technical. About 3 hrs door-to-door, depending on levels of fitness and faffing about!

Did most of this route yesterday, very enjoyable and a real eyeopener to the amount of good quality trails in and around the south Belfast area.

The trickiest bit to find, and also the best section in my opinion is found at the edge of a silo pit at the back of purdysburn hospital. A nice section of singletrack running all the way down past Hydebank the full length of the hill.
