An absolute must-see on the border of Galway and Mayo. Here the river Erriff thunders over wide rock plateaus into the fjord. Whether you come for the film history of The Field, the chance to see salmon leaping, or simply for the dramatic view of the Connemara mountains: this stop never disappoints. Particularly impressive after a hearty Irish downpour!

Aasleagh Falls is a pretty waterfall not far from Leenaun. It's set in a typically beautiful and mountainous Connemara landscape, where the Erriff River empties into the Killary Fjord. The intriguingly named Devilsmother rises to the east, while Ben Gorm rises to the west.
This part of the Western Way can be prone to flooding. If the trail is impassable, the N59 can be used instead.
