Travel Level

This day, this moment in Ireland is arguably my very favorite. It was one of those days where everything, the weather, the area, my mood, and the company collided into perfection. No matter what your level of mobility, you can enjoy everything that the Gleniff Horseshoe has to offer.

We drove the 14 km loop and pulled over whenever the beauty would overwhelm us, which was often. The day was overcast and misty, which gave us the gift of the horseshoe all to ourselves. It let us feel as if we had discovered this magical place for the very first time. The wind whistled through the air, the gates, the cave at the top of Ben Bulben. I cannot even describe it in words. We did not want to leave.

I will let the photographs speak the rest.

If you are going, we came out of Drumcliff on the N15 and followed the signs to the Horseshoe. If you have limited mobility, I suggest driving to various pull off spots, and getting out to walk or roll along the paved road. The road has gentle hills in various places and is flat in others. I recommend Davis’ Restaurant/Yeats Tavern in Drumcliffe for a wonderful meal and good accessibility.
