Itinerary description
Bicycle Loop including some of the most scenic backroads in Mid/West-Clare, Ireland. The beautiful views you'll encounter (weather permitting) reach from the Connemara Hills to the Kerry Mountains, from the Atlantic Coast to the Burren and East Clare. Route is (with the exception of 300 meters) on nearly traffic-free paved single lane country roads through woodlands, across scenic bogs and along hidden lakes through the rolling hills of West and Mid Clare. Limited parking, best places to start are across the Bogdale Pub in Kilmaley or from the Crosses of Annagh Pub near Miltown Malbay (adds ~5 kms to the route). The very scenic picnic area at Millenium park invites for a break. Bicycles for hire in Miltown Malbay and Ennis,. Co.Clare.
