Whitegate is a welcoming village on the edge of Lough Derg, known for its lovely harbour and relaxed atmosphere. It’s a great stop on the East Clare Way to enjoy lakeside views or refuel at the local pub. Take a stroll down to the pier—the sunsets over the water here are some of the best in Clare.

Take special care during winter!! It becomes a swamp, which I'm happy to have survived 😮‍💨

The view of Lough Derg from here is truly something special. The gently rolling landscape alternates between green pastures, dense forests and scattered farms - all framed by the gentle waves of the lake. Sometimes clouds pass over the hills, giving the scenery an almost mystical touch, while on clear days the sun lights up the fields and makes the colors glow. As you cycle along the narrow roads, you can feel nature setting the pace here. Cows graze leisurely in the meadows and from time to time deer cross your path, making the moment all the more impressive. The changing sky ensures constant changes in the play of light - perfect for a little break to enjoy the view in peace. The path is a little bumpy here and there, but that's part of the experience. Such detours are worthwhile, especially if you want to lose yourself for a moment in the lush green and the peaceful sound of the wind. A place that has its own charm in any weather – be it the clear air in the morning or the gentle twilight at sunset.

A tricky section descending from Maoylussa towards Kilalooe, The woooden Broadwalk allowing access over the bog is better taken going downhill.

Reaching the summit at 530m above sea level is not easy, especially after rains. The views are spectacular on a clear day.
