For those who want the great views without all the effort to cycle to the top of a mountain, this is the thing for you. Catch the 11a.m. Rambler Bus service from Newcastle to Spelga Dam, collect your bike and helmet from Mourne Cycles and then it's a beautiful scenic cycle all the way downhill back into Newcastle for 5p.m. Available only during July and August.

It is advised to pre-book to avoid disappointment.
