    Cycling

    The road through Doo Lough Valley is a quiet, narrow route with little traffic, allowing you to fully enjoy the wide views over the dark lake and the surrounding mountain slopes. Along the shore are several photogenic spots where water, light, and landscape come together beautifully. This passage logically connects to Delphi Valley, the climb to Doolough Pass, and the understated 1849 memorial, making this section one of the most impressive links of the entire route.

    An absolutely stunning length of valley road running along Doo Lough with views of the Ben Creggan peaks.

    Sadly, during the great famine in Ireland in 1849, 600 starving people tragically perished here when they were denied aid whilst on route from Louisburgh to Delphi.
