Driving the Sky Road in Clifden, Connemara, County Galway, for the first time is breathtakingly beautiful and heart-stopping-ly terrifying at the same time. The narrow road, the wild scenery and the cliff top views are incredible to describe with mere words.
As you leave Clifden, the “Capital of Connemara”, the road climbs higher, becomes narrower and, at times, seems to disappear into the sky. The views from the edge of Ireland are absolutely incredible.
