Road cycling
This stretch of stunning road is named the Mamore Gap. It is known as the steepest 1km of road in Ireland.
It has spectacular views of Lough Swilly, the Fanad peninsula, Urris and North Inishowen. With panoramic views of the Atlantic on one side and rolling green hills on the other it is well worth the effort to climb to the top!

One of the the toughest climbs in Ireland, and it's worse from the Northern side!
