Best Hotels Near Sky Road Connemara
The Sky Road is a circular scenic drive from Clifden over the dramatic Atlantic headlands of western Connemara, winding above sea cliffs and island-dotted inlets with views that are among the most spectacular in Ireland — the Twelve Bens mountains inland, the Aran Islands on the horizon, and the open Atlantic crashing below. At sunset the light on the bog and the sea turns golden and the sky above turns pink and purple in a display that draws photographers from across the world. Hotels in Clifden are the closest base for the Sky Road and the gateway to exploring the wider Connemara coast.
