Go for a drive - the scenery is breathtaking! Once off the main roads, the traffic is light with lots of opportunities for “Kodak” moments.

We’d recommend the Sky Road drive from Clifden for magnificent views out over Clifden Harbour, Inishturk South, Slyne Head and the Atlantic – c. 1.30 Hour Trip from the Hotel taking the route to Clifden via Roundstone.

For a longer drive (2-3 hours) take the road North (N59 towards Westport) out of Clifden to Letterfrack and follow this road on to Lennane passing Connemara National Park, Kylemore Abbey and a natural fjord called Killary Harbour. To make it a loop drive back to the hotel, consider coming back via Maam Village, turn right in Lennane and take the R346, or for a shorter route turn right about 3 Km after Kylemore Abbey travel back via the Inagh Valley on the R344.

Stops to consider while out and about:

• Roundstone

• Dogs Bay

• Connemara National Park

• Kylemore Abbey - https://www.kylemoreabbey.com/

• Derryimlagh – loop walk with the history of Marconi Radio transmissions
