Kilkee to Ennistymon

Introducing Kilkee to Ennistymon

North of Kilkee, the land flattens and you enjoy vistas that sweep across pastures and dunes. The N67 runs inland for some 32km until it reaches Quilty. Take the occasional lane to the west and search out unfrequented places such as White Strand, north of Doonbeg. Ballard Bay is 8km west of Doonbeg, where an old telegraph tower looks over some fine cliffs. Donegal Point has the remains of a promontory fort. There’s good fishing all along the coast, and safe beaches at Seafield, Lough Donnell and Quilty. Off the coast of the latter, look for Mutton Island, a barren expanse sporting an ancient tower.
