Drive West on the 27th of June
We will depart from the Maldron hotel Oranmore at 10.45, exit hotel heading south Mayo direction via Joyce’s Country with views of Lough Corrib, Lough Mask, Maumtaurk Mts, Partry Mts to mention but a few, with some coffee breaks & picture opportunity stops along the way, there is some amazing views.
We will finish up in Ashford Castle in Cong which is a lovely spot with the castle in the background for pictures.
This is a lovely drive with some lovely roads, there is the odd short bit a little bumpy, don’t worry I will as I have said previous, and as I did the last time, give everyone on the morning before we set off a detailed listing of the drive, ok I will put in the odd warning.
