If you arrive early in the day it will give you a chance to explore this town – forever associated with the poet W. B. Yeats. If you like we can recommend a short cycle route that will allow you to familiarize yourself with your surroundings and bicycle. Day 2: Sligo to Donegal Town – 83 km Your bike tour takes you north from Sligo. The beautiful valley of Glencar, with its lake and waterfall, beckons. Cycle on through peaceful countryside, past lakes and farmland. Briefly cross the border into Northern Ireland. Visit the lakeside village of Belleek, famous for its pottery. Continue into County Donegal, rejoining the coast at your overnight stop in historic Donegal Town. Day 3: Donegal to Carrick – 60 – 75 km Today you cycle west along Donegal Bay. You’ll pass inlets, beaches and small peninsulas. Pass through the bustling fishing village of Killybegs. As you cycle west from Killybegs the coastal views become ever more dramatic. Staggering cliffs tower above secluded beaches on your refreshing journey to your overnight destination is the village of Carrick – the base for exploring Slieve League. No trip to Donegal would be complete without a visit here! Day 4: Carrick to Glenties – 77 km If you really want to see Ireland cycling tours are simply the best way. Today you’ll really see why. Cycle along a stretch of coast with few equals. View nature at its best as you bike past cliffs, sea stacks, unspoiled fishing hamlets, wild bogs, pristine beaches, remote Gaelic speaking communities, and historic monuments from every era since the Stone Age. Today’s route has it all! Later in the evening make your way to the pleasant village of Glenties, for your overnight stop.

Continue past stately Mount Errigal to your overnight stop in the Gaelic speaking area of Gweedore (Gaoth Dobhair). This area has a history of producing internationally acclaimed folk acts such as Clannad, Altan and Skara Brae. A visit to the local pubs will let you see why. Day 6: Gweedore to Ramelton – 73 km Glorious golden strands stretch along the section of coast you follow on today’s part of your North West Ireland cycling tour. Out to sea the islands of Inishbofin and the Kingdom of Tory are clearly visible. Head inland, passing pleasant lakes, at the foot of heather clad mountains. Rejoin the coast at the historic town of Ramelton. This picturesque town was once a Trans-Atlantic port. That was in the 18th century however. These days it’s a much more laid-back place, and a very pleasant town to explore. Day 7: Ramelton – 0 – 85 km Cycle anything from 0 to 85 kilometers today. A short distance away is the historic village of Rathmullan – forever associated with the “Flight of The Earls” – one of the pivotal events in Irish History. If you simply can’t get enough of biking the dramatic Donegal coastline, a cycle around Fanad Peninsula should satisfy you completely! With the sea all around, Fanad is not lacking in dramatic and ever-changing coastline. A full circuit of the peninsula could be anything up to 85 km.

In writing this thesis, I hope that I have, in some way, managed to explain the reasons for this cultural diversity. This thesis would not have been written without the assistance of my two supervisors, Professor Mike Cronin and Professor Matthew Taylor. Professor Cronin’s assistance and knowledge has transformed the way I think about history, society and sport while Professor Taylor’s expertise has also made me look at the writing of sports history and the development of society in a different way.
