ゴールウェイの峠・トップ5

This section of the Western Way provides exceptional views towards the breathlessly rugged Twelve Bens. Benncorr and Derryclare strut their stuff, their charismatic eastern spurs dropping invitingly to Lough Inagh. These peaks are part of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, one of Ireland's great mountain hikes.

A great walk with kids. Plenty of place for them to run around, climb boulders etc. My kid loves it. Plan for rain jacket; it often rains there! Being the Connemara and all that! 🙈😂

The third highest of the Twelve Bens, Bencollaghduff (Binn Dubh in Irish) is a gorgeous peak right in the heart of the range. It marks around the halfway point of the Glencoaghan Horseshoe, one of Ireland's finest mountain journeys. Expect glorious views from the summit on a clear day, with Benbaun dominating matters to the northwest.

The road between Rossaveel in the south west and Oughterard in the north west is a wonderful route to pedal. Part of the Eurovelo Route 1, it goes over Windy Pass and takes in stunning lough views.

Whilst climbing up the pass to the Galway Wind Park there are fantastic views behind of the blue waters of Lough Corrib.

Small well-tended chapel right at Maumeen Pass in the middle of the Maumturk Mountains.
