Cycling
Cycling through the Doolough Pass feels like a journey through time. The road cuts through a deep glacial valley, where the imposing peaks of Mayo are reflected in the smooth, dark water of the lake. It is a place of raw beauty and deep silence, marked by a poignant monument to the region's history. An absolute highlight where the grandeur of nature makes you feel very small for a moment.

An incredible picturesque freshwater lake in County Mayo. It is 4 km (2.5 mi) long and 1 km (0.6 mi) wide. But forget the numbers and just feast your eyes on the spectacle of nature here - this must be one of the best Ireland has to offer.
