Beyond Clifden Castle, formerly the home of John D'Arcy, a steep, narrow road climbs along the cliffs on the north side of the bay. The opposite shore is dominated by the round hump of Errisbeg (300m). As the road bears northwest over the ridge, a magnificent view unfolds of the indented coastline and the islands offshore (viewing point at the car park). The road descends in a curve to the head of Kingstown Bay and then continues inland along the south shore of Streamstown Bay.
