← All things to do
About
A single-track loop road along Achill's southern shoulder, running from Achill Sound out past Cloughmore, Ashleam and Dooega with open Atlantic on one side and mountain on the other for most of its length. It is a self-drive (or cycle) route rather than a staffed attraction, best done slowly with stops at the coves along the way.
