The Drombeg Stone Circle consists of 17 stones arranged in a circle. It was probably built in the Bronze Age and was an important place for the rituals and celebrations of the time. The place is surrounded by picturesque countryside, which offers a breathtaking backdrop for hikes and walks.

There are several hiking trails in the area leading to Drombeg Stone Circle. The trails are generally easy to moderately difficult and offer many opportunities to explore the surrounding landscape. Along the trails you can also discover other historical sites such as old churches and graves.

It is important to note that the Drombeg Stone Circle is an important part of Ireland's cultural heritage and should therefore be treated with respect. One should not leave any trash or souvenirs behind and leave the place alone.

From the height-limited parking lot it is only a few steps to the stone circle.

Well worth a detour if touring about. It's a nice walk from the village and a loop on quieter roads can be made.It's about 4.5km from the village taking the longer coastal route.
