EuroVelo 1: Ireland's Wild Atlantic Way

(Contents see below) The EuroVelo 1 runs through the Republic of Ireland for almost a thousand kilometers. The first half of the cycle route leads from Donegal on the wild Atlantic coast to Galway. Nonexistent bike paths, lots of hills and even more rain, these are the small disadvantages. Great landscapes, friendly people and pubs full of music - the benefits prevail clearly.

Deirbhle’s Twist – Ireland’s Stonehenge near Blacksod Pier (Mayo County)

Did you know that Ireland has it’s own version of Stonehenge? :) It’s called Deirbhile’s Twist and it is in County Mayo. It is a part of North Mayo's sculpture trail near the Blacksod pier.

Anyway, unlike the Stonehenge, Deirbhile’s Twist has no history. It is just a circle made from local granite stones in a spiral twist with 22 stepping stones.

Deirbhile’s Twist is the last part of the sculpture trail through North Mayo. It was made by Artist Michael Boffin sculptor.
