## Must-See
- **Sky Road, Clifden** — 16km circular coastal road from Clifden town with elevated views over the Atlantic, offshore islands, and the Clifden Castle ruins below. One of Ireland's best cycling roads: manageable gradient, spectacular at every turn, and quiet enough even in August.
- ⭐ **Sky Road (Clifden)** — 16km circular coastal road from Clifden with elevated views over the Atlantic and offshore islands. One of Ireland's best scenic drives; spectacular at every turn. You can also rent a bike in Clifden to ride it — the gradient is manageable.
- **Connemara National Park** — The Twelve Bens mountain range with marked walking trails from easy bog boardwalks to full hill walks. Visitor centre at Letterfrack with good introduction to the landscape. The Diamond Hill walk (2h return) is the most rewarding short hike.
- **Kylemore Abbey** — Gothic Revival castle built 1867 on the shore of a mountain lake, now a Benedictine monastery. The setting is one of the most photographed in Ireland. The walled Victorian garden is worth the entry fee. Busy in August — go early.
- **Clifden** — The "capital" of Connemara. Small but with a good food scene, traditional music, and the only reliable fast charger in the section. Good workation base.

- **Base:** Clifden — central for all Connemara sights, has EV charging, good food
- **Workation:** Clifden has decent café wifi; Galway (next section) is much better for serious work days
- **Language:** Many signs are Irish-only in Connemara. Navigation apps handle this fine; just be aware.
- **Inland roads:** The L-roads and boreens through the bog are far quieter than the N59 in summer and far more beautiful. Prefer these for cycling.
