Village pump 1920. Ballyknockan Today 2010
Ballyknockan on the last Sunday of June participates in the Hillbilly Tractor Run which is a great fund raising event for charity.
For the last five years this event was hosted in or near Ballyknockan but for last two years because it has grown in popularity we ran out of space and had to
change the start and finish points to larger fields outside the village. The village bursts into life on the weekend of the event.
Hill Walkers use the village picnic area as a starting point before climbing Moanbane (2313 ft.) and Mullaghcleevaun (2615 ft.)
The area is also a very popular route for Cyclists who like to pass along the lake drive through Ballyknockan, which sits at 800 feet above sea level, the route varies from
the lake level at 600 ft to hills reaching 800 ft. and gives the cyclist frequent climbs and descents.
