The Sky Road Loop follows the route of the Sky Road around the peninsula between Streamstown and Clifden Bays, with a section along the N59. The terrain is relatively flat, particularly towards the end of the peninsula. Views are spectacular and are of the Atlantic, including the islands of Inishturk and Turbot, and also of the town of Clifden. Care is required on the N59 and at the more northerly junction with it.
