ROUTE number 5 "THE INLAND INCH RUN (35 KM)
This is a little gem of a route. It is about 35 kilometres and has lots of variations. Departing from Youghal, you start with a steady climb up the Tallow Road which gives a splendid view over the estuary and the chimney of the old Youghal Pottery Onwards and upwards we go until you reach the Half Way Bar where you turn left and go straight on until you reach Inch. After the climb up the Tallow Road this is glorious cycling, most of it downhill. At Inch it is decision time, you can get back to Youghal in a number of ways. One is to turn left at the church in Inch and this will bring you straight back to Youghal. You could also pass the front of the church in Inch and go up the hill to Inch National School and continue on that road to Mount Uniacke. This offers further choices, either continue on to Killeagh and come in the N25, or just outside Mount Uniacke take a left turn for Youghal go straight ahead and again you end up on the Quarry Road. You will find excellent refreshments in Killeagh if that is the route you decide upon or you could visit Glenbower woods or both! And then back to Youghal!
