Belmont Bike Farm

Belmont Bike Farm is a free-to-ride trail network on Belmont Demesne, a working farm estate between Bray Head and the Little Sugar Loaf, about 30 minutes from Dublin city centre. Belmont says it has 15km of trails: four waymarked blue and red bike trails, green bike and hike loops, and a two-section pump track, with bike hire, servicing and a cafe at the trailhead.

The Trails

All the bike trails start at the trailhead beside the bike shop yard and are one way, so follow the directional arrows. Bikes ride the green loops clockwise only. Helmets must be worn on every trail.

• Green Bike and Hike Loops (1.7km to 4.3km, easy, long loop moderate): wide gravel trails through open ground and native woodland, with a spur out to the Dublin Bay viewpoint. These are shared with walkers, so watch out for oncoming hikers.
• Ground Control (blue, 1.1km): an all-weather gravel trail with flowing berms, small rollers and minor obstacles, plus an optional red-graded Slingshot section, signed as difficult.
• Sweetwood Track (blue, 2km): all-weather gravel with flowing berms, small rollers and short steep descents. It's linear, so you return to the trailhead on the green loop.
• Live Wire (red, 2.3km to 3.3km): a woodland trail, technical in places, with berms, steep climbs and descents, roots and rocks. Easier optional sections let you skip the steepest parts.
• Lil Suga Drop (red, 2.5km): the newest trail, an open hillside trail with a steep climb, then a descent with berms, rollers, drops and tabletops. Ride it in full or in any of three shorter segments.
• Pump Track Trail: two sections, a junior track for under 12s and a 115 metre track for over 12s, which needs a moderate level of bike skill. Belmont says it is one of the largest in Ireland.

Trail maps are posted at the trailhead and around the estate, and a printable map is on the Belmont Bike Farm page.

Riding Here

• The blue and red trails are for bikes only, and walkers must keep off them.
• Under-16s must be with a parent or guardian on site at all times.
• Belmont is a working farm, so watch for vehicles and the odd horse on the main avenues, and keep dogs on a lead.

Admission and Parking

• All the bike and walking trails are free. Arrive by bike or on foot and there's nothing to pay.
• Parking is €3 for the day, paid by contactless card at the exit barrier. The money goes towards the trails. Regular visitors can buy an annual parking pass.
• Prices are correct as of October 2026 but subject to change, so check current rates on the Belmont Demesne website.

Guides, Shuttles and Hire

There's no uplift at Belmont, so you ride up to the start of each trail. Hire, servicing and guided rides are all at the trailhead.

• Fatbike Adventures: a bike shop in the old tramyard beside the car park, with bike and electric fatbike hire, servicing and repairs, and guided rides around Belmont and up Bray Head, including a three-hour tour from €65 per person.

Prices are correct as of October 2026 but subject to change, so check current rates with the operator.

Kids' Camps

• Belmont Bike Farm runs mountain bike camps for riders aged 6 to 15 in the summer, Easter and midterm holidays, plus an hour-long after-school club on most Fridays. Book through the Bike Farm page.
