The Sky Road


Sky Road, Connemara, Co. Galway

Hardly needing any further description than in its name, The Sky Road out of Clifden is famous for its spectacular views of the Connemara Mountains and stunning Atlantic vistas. It takes you through a largely unsettled area where lakes, mountains, bogs (turf fields) and sheep dotting the hills are more prevalent than people. The Sky Road is a circular route and can be cycled or driven (though coaches are prohibited).





Our Take

Why not when staying in Clifden pack a picnic lunch and a nice hot flask of tea or something more comforting and drive out to see the sun set on the crimson Atlantic.
