This cycle takes cyclists northwards along the coast road with spectacular coastal vistas including out to the Aran Islands. The full route includes some challenging climbs over Slieve Elva, but there is an option to avoid the mountains by heading inland at Kilmoon Bridge to Lisdoonvarna, having already enjoyed the Atlantic views.
