As you will have seen, we recommend wonderful short scenic routes out around Clew Bay and to Newport port town. They are comfortable to do, just a 25km round trip which takes 2-3 hrs including stop off. This route is suitable for average to moderate fitness and families.
For those who would like to explore the The Great Western Greenway out to Mulranny – Achill, 43 km one way and 86 km return. We recommend you take our shuttle bus out from Westport and start at either place and cycle back. The 43/50km takes approximately 4 to 5+ hours – so set aside the day. You can easily break up this time with a great choice of stop offs along the way in wild countryside, a tour route Cafe or Mulranny /Newport Towns.
There are toilet facilities along the way. Moderate plus fitness level is advised and the route is suitable for kids 8 to 10 yeas and older. Or, you can use a large kid’s bike seat (45kg) or kid’s trailer.

An early start is best advised as the route is very busy in afternoons. We can start from 8.00am!
