The Sky Road in Connemara is a spectacular coastal drive in western Ireland. Along the way is a short hike down a country path to Clifden Castle, abandoned and now surrounded by a cow pasture.

After an overnight flight to Dublin, we hit the ground running. After renting a car, we drove to Belfast and went to the Titanic Museum. Continuing north, we stopped at the Dark Hedges on our way to the (northern) Causeway Coast. As you can see, the gnarled beech trees make a spectacular tree tunnel–one of many Northern Ireland locations used in filming Game of Thrones.
The real reason for this detour through Northern Ireland was to see the Giant’s Causeway, which we will see tomorrow morning. Also along the coast are Carrick-a-Rede (rope bridge) and Ballintoy Harbor, which we saw as we drove to the Causeway Hotel.
