Achill Cycle Loop 1
The longest tour, taking you to the southern corner of Achill Island. Experience the spectacular sea cliff scenery along the ‘Atlantic Drive’. Visit Kildownet Church & Castle once used by Granuaile (The Pirate Queen) and ponder on those who inhabited the early promontory forts. There are some moderate climbs and a steep descent/ ascent on this route. You can pause for some well deserved refreshments in An Caiseal/ Cashel or Gob a Choire/ Achill Sound. There is an option to short cut the route at An Aisléim / Ashleam.
