The charming fishing village of Roundstone, with its colourful houses and active harbour, is the ideal place for a stop. You'll find excellent fresh fish here (try the chowder!) and a lively atmosphere. For cyclists, the road along the bay is relatively flat, but be aware of the wind that has free rein here from the Atlantic Ocean.

Roundstone is a beautiful picturesque village which lies on the western arm of Bertraghboy bay in Connemara.
As a popular tourist destination there are plenty of places to eat and drink and a busy harbour where fishermen prepare and return with their catch. There is also a craft centre that is worth a visit.
With so much to do in this town it makes a perfect stop from a hard cycle!
