The Clew Bay Bike Trail is a mixture of cycling and ferry journeys. The route brings you around Clew Bay and offers stunning views of the coastline. This cycling route is perfect for you if you are looking for a day out in nature and to have some fun. The trail will take you to Clare Island and Achill Island and gives you a chance to cycle along the Great Western Greenway Path which is one of the most famous and beautiful cycling routes in Ireland.

The Clew Bay Bike Trail is also perfect for bringing your family on a day out. It makes for a great day trip when you visit Mayo and there are plenty of rest stops to have a picnic while you take the gorgeous coastline. There are also plenty of restaurants and pubs for mom and dad if you wish to stop and have a drink along the way.

If you don’t have a bike that’s no problem at all. There are plenty of places where you can rent bicycles such as Westport Bike Hire where you can rent bikes for yourself and your family for the day. You can also hire electric bikes which are great for inexperienced cyclists as the bike will do most of the work for you. This allows you to relax a bit more and simply enjoy the journey and nature around you while you take in plenty of fresh air.

The cycling distance of the entire route is 81km, however, if you feel that might be too much for you to handle there is an optional 10km loop on Clare Island which many people find easy enough. The route is perfect for people who want to get some exercise outdoors, however, there are no steep hills which make it suitable for people of all fitness levels.
