Ride Coillte’s diverse, purpose-built Ticknock mountain bike trails, a top Irish MTB destination in the Dublin Mountains with over 30km of way-marked single track. Find fast, technical riding and spectacular scenery within a short journey of Dublin city centre. 

Ticknock provides a complete mountain biking experience, from beginner to experienced rider, where the journey itself is the destination. With blue, red, and black graded trails, each route offers a distinct feel. Ride trails with varied surfaces and stunning visual rewards as well as intense, technical challenges that offer riders panoramic views of Dublin Bay and nearby Wicklow.

Prepare for changeable mountain conditions on any ride here. The weather can shift quickly, affecting trail surfaces and visibility. Dress in layers, carry a basic repair kit, a charged mobile phone, know your emergency exit points, and let others know your plans before you set out. Sharing the forest responsibly with walkers, horse riders and vehicles is essential for everyone’s safety. Your preparedness ensures you can fully engage with the challenge and beauty of these trails. Ready to hit the trail? Rent mountain bikes locally at Biking.ie.
