Built c. 1810 by Clifden’s founder John D’Arcy, Clifden Castle was once his residence. From Clifden, take the Sky Road until the gateway arch (2km on the left). Then, stroll along a winding trail (sometimes a bit mucky) edged with a series of five standing stones (only one is original). Soon you will be led downhill and turning right to discover a magnificent view of Clifden Bay and Clifden Castle.
Walking only – parking is not permitted.

Dog's Bay Beach lies back to back with Gurteen Beach, forming a tombolo that juts out into the ocean. Unlike other local limestone beaches, Dog's Bay's brilliant white sand was formed from seashells, and it horse shape stretches for a mile along the Connemara coast. Its clear, blue water is sheltered from currents, making it popular with swimmers and kitesurfers. Amenities: none. Best for: swimming; watersports; walking.

A narrow twisting road gradually raising to a vantage viewing point showing a wonderful vista out to sea of islands and the breaking surf over submerged reefs. Drive carefully as you may have to pull in or even reverse to allow on coming traffic to pass. A worthwhile trip on a clear day.

Food scene
Great service here from friendly and efficient staff and a simple menu done very well. Located right in the centre of Clifden opposite the post office it probably isn’t as obvious to passers by than most other places on the central square. I’ve been here a bunch of times and their soups are always great on a cold wet day.

Fly & Sea Fishing Lessons in Connemara
Whether you are a complete beginner or an experienced angler, Fishing in Connemara aims to provide an enjoyable and affordable trip for all levels of experience.
Connemara has more lakes than you could fish in a lifetime. Some lakes have lots of small brown trout, others with sea trout and salmon. The lakes also vary in size from tiny lakes where you’ll be surprised to catch hard fighting wild brownies to the larger deeper lakes that hold double figure salmon, sea trout, brown trout and even, occasionally, a char.
There are also some great rivers which are some of the prettiest in Ireland. They are the best for salmon, brown trout and sea trout fishing.
Coastal fishing is great for families with a higher catch rate for beginners using bait and spinners. Salt water fly fishing is also very enjoyable.
You will enjoy a truly unique experience on the Wild Atlantic Way with us.
