킨드럼 러프 최고의 라이딩 경로

Far-reaching views across Mulroy Bay, a sea loch that's approximately 12 kilometers (7.45 mi) long.

Opened in May 2009, the bridge was constructed to reduce the travel time between the peninsulas of Fanad and Rossguill. The two peninsulas were previously connected by a ferry service, but this halted in the mid 1960s.

The road passes right alongside the serene waters of Kildrum Lough. It is a freshwater lake, unlike Mulroy Bay, which is just on the other side of the road.

The R247 stretched all along the shore and here by Lagmore Bay you can see Croaghan Island/Innis Seosamh. It's a tidal island, meaning access is possible via a causeway at low tide.

The Harry Blaney Bridge arches across Mulroy Bay to join the Rougill and Fanad Peninsulas. Until 1960, you could hop on a ferry to make the journey, but when that stopped running the journey to connect the two increased to an hour by car. The bridge was opened in 2008, shortening the drive to a few minutes. It was named after T.D. Harry Blaney, the politician who helped secure its construction.

The road passes along the shoreline past the beach in front of Melmore. There are interesting granite rocks in the bay which are worth a small detour to go and explore.

Strand Park is right on the water's edge and a very short walk from a carpark to the east. There are picnic benches at the other end so it makes a great place to start and finish a hike.
