Tripadvisors tilnærming til anmeldelser
Hver Tripadvisor-anmeldelse går gjennom et automatisert sporingssystem før den legges ut. Dette systemet samler inn informasjon som svarer på følgende spørsmål: Hvordan, hva, hvor og når. Hvis systemet oppdager noe som muligens strider imot retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet, blir anmeldelsen ikke publisert.
Når systemet oppdager et problem, kan en anmeldelse automatisk avvises, sendes til anmelderen for bekreftelse eller gjennomgås manuelt av teamet vårt av innholdsspesialister. Disse spesialistene jobber døgnet rundt for å opprettholde kvaliteten av anmeldelsene på nettstedet vårt.
Teamet vårt sjekker hver anmeldelse som er lagt ut på nettstedet og bestrides av fellesskapet vårt for ikke å møte retningslinjene våre for fellesskapet.

Spectacular views of the Atlantic. Tough to drive in places but overall, an excellent side trip. We were enthralled by the sights we saw. The lighthouses were beautiful.
Highly recommend!

The almost 15km long road with its cliffs is a small highlight of Connemara. We were there during the day and really crowded it was never. You're never alone, though.

Tolle Straße mit vielen wunderschönen Ausblicken auf Bucht und Landschaften. Wir sind sie mit dem Fahrrad gefahren. Das war auch ohne E-Antrieb gut machbar.

Absolutely stunning location, views, etc. Approximately 10km loop, I've driven it a couple of times, this time I decided to cycle it. Sorry I didn't do a second loop involving the lower road. Fantastic area, not to be missed when in Clifden.

What a great run around the loop of the sky road after lunch to see the coast tip and all its beauty. The road is mostly one lane and takes a bit with very few places to stop for photos without impeding traffic.

Beautiful route with spectacular views starting from the town of Clifden. In our case it was raining and very windy but the landscape was still wonderful. Rugged coastline, green meadows, white sheep and horses!

The views were amazing was a little nervous as it is a narrow road and if you’re not used to driving on the left-hand side, it’s a little scary at times. Definitely worth it beautiful scenery. Try to choose a good weather day to go.

Stunning views, very narrow roads though, take it slow.
Check out the Quay house for accommodations. We stayed in the Napoleon room.

To do by car without being in a hurry, there are superb views. It is essential to do this walk in good weather otherwise you will miss some magnificent places

How long should I plan on for driving Sky Road & stopping to take pictures? I have 2 full days in Cliften (3 nights). I want to see Sky Road, Kylemore Abbey, hike Diamond Hill, and probably see the beaches around (Roundstone, Dog Bay, Mannin Bay). Could I do Sky Road + Kylemore Abbey one day and then do a hike and see Roundstone and a few beaches on the 2nd day? Before Clifden I have 3 nights in Galway. After Clifden I will drive to Westport for 3 nights. Thank you! Oh, this will be in July, so long days.

We had a similar itinerary this past late summer. We did Kylemore Abbey (wonderful and worth 4+ hours), the Sky Road (1-2 hours with stops) and several of the roads north of the Sky Road (around the Cleggan area) all in one unhurried day.
We went after tourist season so there was very minimal traffic and no traffic delays. If you're going in Summer, allow some extra time, particularly for the Sky Road because everyone has heard about that drive. If traffic does seem to create a problem, head for any of the other local roads. The scenery is comparable.
We took another day for the roads south of Clifden (Roundstone, the nature trail at the Alcock and Brown landing site, the local beaches, etc). Again, unhurried, all tiny lane driving, and we had plenty of time since days are long.
We took a third day for hiking in Connemara National Park. Lovely vistas and the hikes meet a variety of enthusiasm levels.
I don't know if you've picked your accommodation yet. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Abbeyglen Castle. I know, it's not really a castle (but few of them are). We splurged on a beautiful suite, and thoroughly enjoyed the warm fires, good food, castle-like ambience and great hospitality. My one caution would be to splurge at least a bit and avoid the cheapest rooms. Those tend to be small and placed near the pubilc areas.

Hi
I would be grateful for your opinion.... I am the tour manager for Lotus Drivers Club. Our cars are wide, very low to the ground and almost impossible to reverse.... based on that information would you consider this loop to be worthwhile and safe for us to undertake.
I greatly appreciate your first hand knowledge.
Kind regards

The road is definitely narrow, but I think as long as you look ahead, and be prepared to pull over to make room for another car when necessary, you should be absolutely fine

クリフデン城を目的地にして、サイクリングで行こうと思います。行と帰りで、スカイロードから行くか、ビーチロードから行くか、迷っています。アップダウンを思うと、どちら周りが良いですか？

Hi there,
Is it possible to cycle the Sky Road? How safe is it? Also where is the best base to see Connemara from?
Thanks
Skrevet 27. mars 2017
Hi to you too... I am not a cyclist but the road is good but narrow so care needed with cars as always.
Were are you coming from please? From Galway, take the Clifden road to reach the heart of Connemara, then see what you seek to visit. It is all utterly lovely. A favourite route is taking a right soon after going through Recess on the Clifden road from Galway, signed Letterfrack and Kylemore Abbey, . Across miles of moors and past a lake.Inagh. Quiet road and I think good cycling with little traffic. When you come to the main road then, left will take you to Kylemore, then Letterfrack, to Clifden, RIGHT to Killary Fjord I would go right! Then in Leenane, take the narrow right to Maam and Maam Cross for glorious scenery. Form there Cong maybe! So many lovely places. If you settle for Clifden, try the Old Bog road to Roundstone.. Enjoy!

We are hoping to do walks in the area, but aren't clear whether we would be able to walk sections of the Sky Road or whether there are walks nearby. We will not have a car and will rely on buses and possibly taxi's to get to and from walks. Any info about where to walk would be welcome. We are also deciding where to stay --probably Roundstone and/or Clifden. What suggestions do you have in terms of walks we can access without a car and choice of where to stay? BTW we are in our early 70's, in very good shape, prefer walks in the 2-4 hour range --but can do up to 7 hours depending on the situation. Our trip will be in late May.

I would get a B&B or Hotel in Clifden if you are going car-less as the public transit is hit or miss and the distance don't look bad on maps but roads are small, curvy and in season crowded. And I second the comment above the Sky road is beautiful but probably not safe for walking. A nice walk in the area is from Clifden town to the beach it is modestly challenging about 2-3 hours roundtrip. If you can get ahold of this book it may help "Walking in Connemara: Shorter Walks to Explore the Hidden Connemara’, Connemara Tourism 1996 I saw it when staying in area. Sorry do not remember any of the walks but our hosts used it to describe walks to guests. The B&B i stayed in the area has closed so can't recommend specific accomodation. .

I was wondering how far/difficult a climb to the monument is?
Skrevet 28. juli 2016
Which monument? The Sky road is a long road so I'd need more details to help you.
