The mountain of Errisbeg rises to almost 1,000 feet in the background of the ancient and wild Roundstone Bog. Admire the bog’s windswept beauty from the road- a bog’s a bog, after all. You may see someone cutting peat for home fires (or to flavor whiskey), or you may see bricks drying in the (intermittent) sun.
Roundstone is a charming harbor village south of Clifden known for delightful restaurants and traditional handicrafts, particularly pottery. There is also a music shop where a respected craftsman creates the traditional Irish drum called the Bodhrán (Bow-Rawn).
