Louisburgh is a small town located 22Km from Westport. Along the route the user will experience sea cliffs, beaches as well as inland through wild and desolate country on very quite roads and tracks.
Terrain: This route offers incredible views over a short distance. Pleasant cycling awaits you but don’t be fooled by the short distance as there are a couple of quite steep hills on this loop. Fortunately these are only a short walk – if fitness is a concern – yet the panoramic views from the summit are worth it!
Traffic: Generally light
Degree of Difficulty: Suitable for people with medium levels of fitness although there are a couple ascents where walking the bike may be more suitable.
