Corkscrew Hill is an iconic climb that showcases the best of The Burren. The switchbacks might be tough, but it is oh so worth it.

Beyond the Horizon

October 8, 2024

Corkscrew Hill lives up to its name. As you tackle the switchbacks, you'll quickly feel the climb taking its toll on your legs - but the view that awaits you with every meter makes up for it. The road winds through the green hills of the Burren, and with every bend a new panorama opens up, giving you a glimpse of this unique karst landscape.

Once you've reached the top, it's worth taking a moment to breathe and take in the vastness. From here you can see the Burren in all its glory - the barren, rocky landscape alternating with the lush green valleys. Corkscrew Hill combines the challenge of a demanding climb with the reward of a breathtaking view.

Whether you're riding the route as part of a longer tour of the Burren or simply experiencing this iconic climb, Corkscrew Hill is a worthwhile challenge for anyone on two wheels.
