Wild Atlantic Way, stage 10 of 15: Clifden to Westport via Killary Harbour

From Clifden past Letterfrack and Kylemore, along Killary Harbour to Leenaun, then into Mayo toward Louisburgh and Westport. Fjord, mountains and empty valleys, with some of the best riding in the west. Westport has everything for an overnight stop. This is one of 15 stages along the coastal route known as the Wild Atlantic Way, from Kinsale in County Cork to Muff in County Donegal. The side roads to headlands and viewpoints are left out, so you can add the ones you like. Ireland drives on the left and signs speeds in km/h. Many coast roads are narrow with stone walls right at the edge, so expect to pull in for tractors, coaches and campervans, and watch for sheep and gravel washed onto the road after rain. Best from May to September; book beds ahead in July and August.

Check road conditions and closures before you ride.
