Cycling
The Het Anker Monument on the Salthill Promenade is a robust maritime symbol commemorating the numerous ships that navigated the treacherous waters of Galway Bay through the centuries. This massive, cast-iron anchor forms a powerful resting point along the cycling path, where the salty sea air and the constant surf of the Atlantic Ocean define the atmosphere.
