On our e-bike tour of The Wild Atlantic Way Derek Kerrigan says Well we made it, we are now at the Station House Hotel and we did the trip in one day the usual recommended time for this trip is three days, in the next video we are leaving The station house Hotel Clifden and setting of for Cleggan or as we say in Gaelic an cloigeann. We will stop off on the way and show you some of the wonderful Irish countryside along the way. Last night we enjoyed a wonderful meal at The Staion House Hotel Clifden, the staff were brilliant and the food was fantastic. We highly reccomend The Station House Hotel and if you ask for James Sweeney who is the son of the owner then James will really look after you, just tell James that E-bike Tours Galway reccomended you and you will receive great service and the customary tradition Irish hospitality.
In the video we stop off as we are heading to Cleggan and just a little about Cleggan, this is where the ferry leaves for Inishbofin or as we say in Gaelic Inis Bo Finne, you just have to follow the signs to Cleggan on the R379 and it takes you though the wonders of The Wild Atlantic Way right through to Cleggan.
We also talk about The Sky road Loop in Clifden taking you up and over the world famous Clifden Sky Road. The climb is just high enough to give you great views, there are steep hills to climb but on youe e-bike you won't even notice you are climbing hills, as Derek say's e-bikes are the biz!
Oh yes and for beach lovers you pass a small beach just before lakeside road that gives you great views of the Twelve Bens which is truly spectacular. The Sky Road Loop is not to be missed on your cycle tour of The Wild Atlantic Way in Clifden. You will however find that Clifden Sky Road is very popular with locals and tourists, so it's best enjoyed early when the roads are quiet.

Cycling Ireland - Day 19 - Inishmore to Clifden
I'm on a cycling tour around the coast of Ireland! In this video I'm on the Wild Atlantic Way and I'm taking a ferry from Inishmore, the largest of the Aran Islands, to Ros a Mhil, through the Galway Gaeltacht and Connemara and on to Clifden. You can read more about me, my cycling training and much more on my blog: officeworkerhealth.com
Cycling in Connemara, Ireland.
Ireland is a great destination for cycle touring...if you can get the weather for it! The Wild Atlantic Way on the west coast offers wild landscape, wild weather and wild people!
For this trip we travelled lighter than usual, to allow us to soak up the beauty of our surroundings. We cycled a loop from Maam Cross, to Leenaun, by the beautiful Killary Fjord and on towards Clifden. It took us three easy days to do the loop, you could probably do it in one day if you didn't stop at every pub and cafe along the way!

When visiting Connemara County Galway you will notice the raw landscape, un spoilt beaches and almost untouched landscapes, almost as if time has stood still, Connemara remains one of the most popular destinations in Ireland and of course whilst there it is essential that you visit Connemara National Park.
The light constantly changes the landscape in Connemara from the rugged Twelve Ben's mountain range in the north to the golden beaches of the Atlantic coast. The ideal way to admire the varied landscapes is to rent a car, as bus services are not very frequent especially in low season. Weather conditions permitting, it is advisable to park the car, forget about time and take a walk through the mountains. Also highly recommended is to end the day enjoying the open fire in a pub, order some local specialties like seafood chowder and end the evening listening to traditional Irish music with a pint of Guinness.
At the edge of Connemara National Park, which comprises two thousand acres of bogs, lakes and mountains, the stunning Kylemore Abbey stands on a lake of the same name. The former Kylemore Castle became an Abbey when Benedictine nuns from the Belgian town of Ypres took refuge there when fleeing the horrors of World War I. It is now a girls' boarding school but some of the rooms including the library are open to the public.
The Corrib, at 45 km in length, is the largest lake in County Galway and separates the Connemara Mountains from the agricultural plains of the interior. Going across Joyce's Country, which sees itself reflected in the mirror of the Corrib broken only by the shimmer of many tiny islands, appears a small village with multicolored houses and a crystal-clear stream, immortalized by filmmaker John Ford when he shot the The Quiet Man with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara. This is the picturesque village of Cong.
The largest town in Connemara is Clifden, an ideal base to explore the county and which serves as a start-off point for many trips throughout beautiful Connemara. There is plenty of accommodation in the area with a wide range of affordable hostels, friendly B&B's and we can also find some of the best hotels in Galway scattered throughout this scenic and romantic part of Ireland.

Clifden County Galway - The Capital of Connemara - Ireland. We love Clifden Ireland #Galway
Clifden would be the main town in the Connemara region of Ireland. It has some of the best restaurants and great hotels and is an excellent base point to explore the wonders in the countryside around it.
Clifden is coastal town in County Galway ( Ireland, in the region of Connemara, located on the Owenglin River where it flows into Clifden Bay. Clifden is usually referred to as the capital of the city because it is the largest town in the region.
This town in Connemara is always headed for when it comes to tourism because it is the first choice that people go for. From the different places of interest that one could visit in Clifden and around it, there is the Twelve Bens - sometimes referred to as Twelve Pins - which is a mountain range of sharp-peaked quartzite ranges located northeast of Roundstone in Connemara. Another touristic attraction in Clifden is Connemara National Park which is one of six national parks in the Republic of Ireland, there is also Sky Road which is a long drive along Clifden Road and Streamstown Bay with views of the Atlantic, Clifden Castle, coast-guard station, the islands of Inishturk and Turbot and the town. Adding to those, one could also visit the Inishbofin in Clifden which is a small island off the coast of Connemara, Slyne Head lighthouse, as well as the Derrygimlagh Bog which is a natural wilderness of blanket bog located 6 km south of Clifden and the site of the Alcock and Brown crash-landing and the Marconi transatlantic wireless station.
There are usually lots of different things for one to explore when it comes to travelling because people do not always follow the same rules and thus some might fall upon specific places which others didn't get the chance to pass by.
From those places which are considered more known for the people when it comes to the attractions of Clifden, there is Clifden Castle, Connemara Heritage and History Centre, the Whitethorn Gallery, Connemara National Park and Visitor Centre, the Station House Museum, and the Rifle-Sebastian Sculpture.
We believe that Connemara is a place of contrasts, colors, and wilderness - it might not only be about Clifden which is just one stop in Connemara, but it is about the place as a whole. In addition to Clifden, there are different other towns in Connemara which one could stop by and check (according to the attractions that might be found in every single one of them or even the activities that could be done there). These towns in Connemara include Oughterard, Maam, Recess, Roundstone, Cashel, Carna, Ballyconneely, Cleggan, Claddaghduff, Letterfrack, the Renvyle peninsula and Leenane.
Connemara in general is a place with a landscape that is magnificent and which mainly goes to its location as well as the harsh conditions that it might be passing through all year long. Speaking of Connemara in general and not just Clifden at this point, there are some beautiful places to go to in it such as the different beaches that it hosts, the Kylemore Abbey and Victorian Walled Garden, the Omey Island Walk, as well as the Connemara National Park.
We didn't get the chance to pass by all those different towns and of course not all those attractions as well, but when we were in Clifden and took this footage back home with us, we were actually thrilled by the beauty of the place and the nature that the eyes are always settling on in the town.
There are different activities in Clifden that one could enjoy and which include cycling, mountain climbing, walking, hiking, pony riding, as well as those other water activities that could be performed and which include swimming, surfing, kayaking, and diving - if you chose the right time of the year to go to Clifden then you will enjoy getting into these activities and will also get the chance to enjoy the salty water, so always make sure you are heading to this place during the right time to enjoy as much activities as you can.
One good thing to enjoy while being in Clifden is the Clifden Farmer's Market in which traders and sellers come to the town of Clifden in order to sell their fresh produce to the public every Friday morning, so make sure to pass by this market and see what it holds out there for you.
Please do comment below if you have anything to suggest for our article what to do in Clifden Ireland. Some people have asked us Where is Clifden :-) Have tempted not to tell them! Keep it our secret! But that would not be too nice - we definitely want to explore more towns in Connemara - we want to see all we can in the region...so next visit! :-) Wait for other towns in Connemara which we will be visiting in the future to check what they carry inside for the tourists and what one could enjoy doing in every single one of them; scenes and activities.
