Sunset Electric Biking the Sky Road in Connemara. Galway. Self Guided.

<p>The breath-taking Sky Road peninsular is located outside Clifden in Connemara on the Wild Atlantic Way driving route. Overlooking Clifden Bay to the South and Streamstown Bay to the North, this spectacular 20km circular cycle route rises more than 150 metres above sea level and has amazing panoramic views over the Connemara countryside, Atlantic Ocean, Clifden town, the islands of Inishturk, Turbot, Inishbofin and the majestic Twelve Bens mountain range. Starting in the colourful market town of Clifden, cycle out west and see the ruins of Clifden Castle, former home of John D’Arcy who founded the town. At the highest point on the Sky Road there is a car park and viewing area with plenty of room to park and take photographs. Cyclists then follow the coastline of the tranquil Streamstown Bay back towards Clifden.</p>
