    If we're going for the entire county, the Beara peninsula is fantastic. One side of the Healy pass is in Cork, not sure about the Caha pass. In around Eyries is also plenty lumpy from memory.

    No real climbs in cork. Locals aren't tough enough.

    Try Bantry-Glengariff-towards Adrigole-Healy Pass-Kenmare for lunch/coffee then back via the Caha Pass to Glengarriff-Bantry.

    Another twist on this is a very quiet road from just past Eagle Point (between Bantry and Glengariff towards Comhola but climb up the valley either towards Prists Leap or over the top and into Kilgarvan.

    Stunning area of the world-just got back from 2 weeks there

    Lots of fun hills around Fermoy, Ballyhoolley to Rathcormac has steep fairly long or long 6% climbs, hang a right towards Glenvile at the top and more quite steep hills around the village. Plenty of different routes as well so you can do the hill multiple times without getting board.

    you're nucking futs, actually looking for climbs! I envy you, I live in the flatest county in Ireland.

    Happy trails.
