Hiking
Windy Gap is a pass between Knockasliggaun and Largan Hill on the Mayo/Sligo border. It forms the end of the Western Trail, a long-distance hiking route through Galway and Mayo. Beyond the Gap is Lough Talt, a picturesque lake in the Ox Mountains that marks the start of the Sligo Way long-distance trail.
