Tips

Cycling

At this spot, the landscape opens up towards Killary Lough, Ireland's only true fjord. From the slight elevation, you see the long, narrow water between the Mweelrea mountains (Mayo) and the Twelve Bens/Maumturks (Galway). The view is broad and clear: a deep, straight fjord valley with steep flanks, tidal water, and often a strikingly silvery light. The road runs here along open peatland and low rocks, causing the fjord to suddenly come fully into view — a classic Connemara moment of space, water, and rugged mountains.
