The Cleggan Loop follows the fringes of Streamstown Bay past Omey Island and around the end of the peninsula to reach Cleggan from where a mountain road climbs gradually before a speedy descent. Much of this loop is reasonably level and apart from the section on the N59 and main access road to Cleggan is generally on quiet roads. Views are of the Atlantic and Inishbofin Island. Care is required on the N59 and junctions with it.
