Sky Road

Reviewed By markgY7154GS - Dublin, Ireland

Certainly worth a drive :) fantastic views of the stunning countryside, just take your time as the roads are very narrow. If you start from Clifton town you should also take the beach road, incredible little beach beside the peer at the end of the road. Enjoy

This is a very pleasant walk a Connemara peat bog in a spectacualr scenic setting, with the added interest of the histry of Alcokc & Brown's flight across the Atlantic in 1919 and the Marconi radio station. Combine iwth a visit to the Clifden Museum to leanr more about this amazing early feat of aviation.
