Connemara, Galway & Mayo

This Tour explores the beautiful region of Connemara famous for its rugged granite landscape as well as its beautiful lakes and rivers. The route offers an incredible variety of scenery each day. In the morning you can be cycling along beautiful coastline while in the afternoon you could be at a quiet bog road with stunning views of the surrounding mountains. On our rest day we stay in a lovely hotel in Clifden, the capital of Connemara. Our tour then takes along quite backroads through Connemara making our way to the Aran Islands, where we are staying on the main island of Inis Mor which we can explore in more detail. The tour finishes up in the city of Galway.

You’ll know you’re in Connemara when you enter a vast beautiful bog land, but as you ride along you’ll notice how the landscape becomes a mixture of rivers, lakes, woodlands, rich meadowlands, rugged hills, dramatic mountains and as you near the coast you’ll stumble across a stunning unpolluted coastline of sandy beaches and blue waters. The capital of Connemara is Clifden which is a typical Irish town with quirky shops, restaurants and traditional pubs. Just a few miles away is Connemara’s famous landmark, Kylemore Abbey. Other towns en route are Clonbur, Westport and Leenane and saving the best for last, The Aran Islands.
