This is a stunningly beautiful bay, with white coral sand and turquoise sea. Well worth a stop to take it all in.

Sky Road

Reviewed By markgY7154GS - Dublin, Ireland

Certainly worth a drive :) fantastic views of the stunning countryside, just take your time as the roads are very narrow. If you start from Clifton town you should also take the beach road, incredible little beach beside the peer at the end of the road. Enjoy

The site where John Alcock and Arthur Brown landed following their historic cross-Atlantic flight in 1919.

Reviewed By BrianK623 - Godalming, United Kingdom

This is a very pleasant walk a Connemara peat bog in a spectacualr scenic setting, with the added interest of the histry of Alcokc & Brown's flight across the Atlantic in 1919 and the Marconi radio station. Combine iwth a visit to the Clifden Museum to leanr more about this amazing early feat of aviation.

Clifden Castle

Reviewed By fullylit

Easy to find, just follow the sky road out of Clifden a couple of miles and you cant miss the large stone arch on the left. Takes about 10 minutes down to the castle, mostly a decent path tho the last bit is muddy. We managed 90% of it with a pram. Stunning location/views/history when you get down. Recommended.
