  The Barnett Demesne Trails consist of a shared-use 3.4km green trail and a 3.9km blue trail with 3 red loop options (1.5km). Good for a blast round if you're in the area. With Ireland's first official purpose-built jumps park boasting no less than 6 lines of mouth-watering table-tops, doubles and hip jumps, if you like big air, you're in the right place!

- Glenariff Forest
  
  - badgers
  
  Some very steep climbs on forest paths, and a superb ridge ride, but riding fast downhill here is FAR TOO DANGEROUS for you and the families using the forest.
- Moyle Way
  
  3.0 badgers
  
  27 miles of way-marked way, following The Moyle Way section of The Ulster Way. Tremendous scenery, isolation, and the bike over the shoulder a time or two!
