The Dolmen Cycleway is one of the most remote, but wonderful places in north Clare to travel by bicycle. Situated in the heart of the Burren the region is dominated by historic castles, limestone, and caves. There can be no greater pleasure for a cyclist than spinning her/his wheels through the wilderness of rock that exists along the R480 stretching between Leamaneh Castle and Ballyvaughan.
