When you drive around in the loop you need to stop so many times because everytime you see the mountains or any other part it's just breathtaking and impressive to see. It's a small road but as we've being there, there wasn't much taffic so we could just stop on the road for taking pictures.

This is one of the most stunning walks you will do in Ireland. Every turn you take you get a different view of beautiful and breathtaking scenery. We did the red loop which is about 12km, taking you over every type of terrain you could imagine. Takes about 3 hours and you start and finish at a wee car park in the village of Carrowteige. In some places this walk is referred to as Benwee Head, it’s the same one as you see Benwee Head there. You can drive to parts of it but it’s well worth doing the full walk to take in all the incredible scenery. Good footwear is a must as it can get mucky in parts. A couple of tough bits but most certainly not strenuous. It goes under the radar somewhat but the serenity adds to this walk.

Downpatrick Head is a place of spectacular scenic and geological importance. One of the noted locations on the West of Ireland's world renowned "Wild Atlantic Way". A tourist location not to be missed if you are in the area of north Mayo. The sea stack is one of the most photographed cliff areas in Ireland. A note of caution should be stated as the cliffs are extremely high with no barrier protection to preserve the natural views. View with extreme caution especially in windy conditions. Children should be held on to at all times. No dogs allowed. The site can be viewed during daylight hours.
We travelled to Ireland in May and prior to leaving Sligo, enquired at the Tourist Office about sights to see on the next leg of our journey to WESTPORT. The helpful lady recommended Downpatrick Head as a must see and one of her favourite places along the coast. We were not disappointed......there were few people for a start, the weather was perfect and the scenery breathless including the undulating soft green grassy mounds splattered with beautiful pink wildflowers on the headland. Dun Briste sea stack was majestic as were the Cliffs, providing nesting sites for the many sea birds. This would have to be one of the highlights of our 18 day self tour around Ireland and is highly recommended. The trip via The Wild Atlantic Way was indeed memorable and well worth the detour to this incredibly special place.

Amazing views of Strandhill Beach, Ben Bulbin, Coolera Peninsula, Coney Island, Sligo Bay, Killaspughrone Church (which dates back to 5th century) and Knocknarea Mountains,the home of Queen Meave's grave. Its a stunning coastal walk would highly recommend it.

The Clogher Heritage Complex features the Heritage Cottage and Cottage Garden with a display of vintage farm machinery, a water feature and a picnic area. The restored working forge is open to visitors - Stauntons Forge, Newtown was authentically rebuilt in its former form in 1999,and it reopened in 2001. The Heritage Complex is also the starting point for the Clogher Bog Walk, a loop walk of 8km. The walk takes in the biodiversity of the flora of the bogland, which is a unique habitat for both common and rare protected species. There are many archaeological features worth viewing on the walk and in the locality. A selection of these is on this site as well as a collection of folklore tales and history of the area.

Fantastic walk with really stunning views. Very well marked and easy to follow. A few seats / picnic benches en route. Takes about 2/2.5 hours. Weather was good but there had been lots of rain during the week and the ground was quite boggy in places, so would definitely recommend hiking boots for it. Well done to those involved in developing and maintaining this walk, it's fabulous!

We went walking to the tower in the morning. There is a gravel path, but you can also walk along the beach. It’s just a small tower, but a lovely time to experience dingle without tourists.
