Day 1
Arrive to the wonderful village of Leenane.
The village of Leenane is snugly situated at
the head of Irelands only fjord Killary
Fjord. It is well known in the last couple
of years for the filming of John B. Keane’s
famous play “ The Field”, directed by Jim
Sheridan and starring Richard Harris and
John Hurt. There are a couple of pubs and
restaurants in the village where you can
have a very enjoyable evening. Warm welcome and
chance to settle in. You will be given your
route pack and general information at the
accommodation to study overnight. Depending
on your arrival time, we will allocate bikes
and equipment (this could be done the
following morning).
Day 2 You leave Leenane
after breakfast and take the direction of
Tullycross. On the way you will cycle along
the Killary Fjord, the turf fields, and the
famous Connemara lakes. You will be passing
Kylmore Abbey where you can stop for lunch
or to visit their beautiful victorian
gardens. You can also decide to stop in the
Connemara National Park to climb Diamand
hill and enjoy the amazing view from the top
(2 hours walk all together). You will stay
tonight in the charming village of
Tullycross overlooking the atlantic coast.
Day 3 From Tullycross you
are heading back to Leenane via a different
route that will take you along the Atlantic
coast with amazing views on the ocean. You
will cycle between montain and ocean and
have the chance to discover the beautiful
beach of Glassilaun where you can stop for a
little walk. You finish your tour in Leenane.
