The route, which is mainly along quiet country roads starts at Ballycallan and passe through Tullaroan, Freshford, Ballyragget, Castlecomer and finishes at Ballycallan.

The signs are up along the route but the mapboards and route guide have not yet been completed.

The East Kilkenny Cycle Route (65km approx) begins at Bennettsbridge and takes in Graignamanagh, The Rower, Inistioge, Thomastown before ending back at Bennettsbridge. The signs are up along both routes but the mapboards and route guides have not yet been completed.

The third cycle route which is the longest and is 110 kilometres is the South Kilkenny Cycle Route. The planned route starts at Thomastown and passes through Inistioge, New Ross, Kilmacow, Piltown, Knocktopher and ends in Thomastown. This route is still in the planning phase.
