Clew Bay in County Mayo stands out as one of the real coastal treasures of Ireland. Overlooked by the striking Croagh Patrick, Clew Bay is surrounded by mountains on virtually every side, with the Nephin Beg range to the north and the Sheeffry Hills to the south. The Lettermaghera Loop hugs the lower slopes of the Nephin Beg Mountains and demands just 100m of ascent. Fully signed, the loop begins 3km west of Newport, a small 18th century town with a beautiful seven-arched viaduct of red sandstone.
