Ballyvaughan to Doolin via Lisdoonvarna

You are in Ballyvaughan and you are facing a T-junction. Turn left, staying on the N67.

There’s really nothing to explain. Just follow the windy road. Make sure to stop on Corkscrew Hill (you’ll know when you are there). But don’t just stop anywhere. There is a parking spot where you can enjoy a beautiful view over Galway Bay.

Keep following the N67 and when you are in Lisdoonvarna, the Square is on your left. Turn right for Doolin.

Just as you are leaving Lisdoonvarna, you come to a left-bend in the road with a turn to the right. Turn right. Immediately after the turn, there is a bend to the right, but you can go straight. Go straight. Keep going for 2.8miles (4.5km) and you come to a T-junction with Doolin Church on your right. Turn left.
