Bike to Hike
Designed with the adventure seeker in mind – this tour involves a bike ride around some of the most scenic views that north Erris has to offer.
The journey starts at Rossport and ends at Portacloy, which is a 10km cycle, where at this point the last leg of the journey is on foot. The hike begins at Portacloy where upon this journey you will see ‘Teachín a’ Watch’ – a Look Out Post (identical to the one found at Downpatrick Head). This was subsequently sub used by the Coast Guard to monitor warships off the coast, & ‘ÉIRE 63’ which were developed at the outbreak of the Second World War will be on your path which is a stone aerial mark which is visible from the air.
You will journey across to Benwee Head which offers some of the most incredible views the Wild Atlantic Way has to offer. These cliffs date back 600 million years and it gets its name from the yellow colour of the quartzite – ‘The Yellow Peak’ or in Irish ‘Binn Bhuí’. The Stags of Broadhaven are located 3km off Erris Head and are approximately 1.6 million years old.
Here you will see the Children of Lir monument known as An Priosún. Legend has it that the children were condemned to be swans for 900 years, 300 of these years were spent on the North Mayo Island at Inishglora.
