    Clifden Castle - Entrance Arch on the Sky Road. Ignore the misleading Private Entrance sign. This is the only (pedestrian) entry to the castle.

    Clifden Castle

    I loved my time visiting the Clifden Castle. We walked a long winding dirt path to get to it and it…read morewas a beautiful and peaceful journey. The castle is in complete ruins. It was built around 1818 and after the original owner died the estate changed hands many times. Although the life of this castle turned into a sad and greedy story there is no argument about its beauty. Even in a great state of decay it is magnificent. How anyone could have pillaged or stripped this property of its essentials is beyond my understanding. The doors, windows, flooring and roof are gone. The stables appear to have received the same treatment and stands in equal ruins. The land is rolling and tranquil. I could have stayed on the property for hours watching the sheep, horses and cows roam all around me. It's a shame that this castle is beyond restoring. If you want to visit I would say the sooner the better.

    I read about this derelict castle on the tourist brochures, and thought it looked like an ideal…read moreplace to take the kids. It was a bit of a pain to find. The tourist guides tell you to take the Sky Road out of Clifden until you see an Arch on the left, and to walk from there. What causes the confusion is the sign someone has erected next to the arch to say it's a private entrance. If you ignore the sign and walk through the arch, it's a fair walk down a very rough, very narrow road to the castle. We had a buggy, and it was difficult in places to manage with the rough stone road surface. What was more difficult was trying to make room for a rather ignorant jeep driver that passed us twice forcing us up towards the barbed wire fence with a buggy and two young kids. He seemed to be a resident on that road that wasn't too happy to have tourists around. Perhaps the sign was erected by him! I don't recommend visiting the castle if have a buggy. Also, boots would be a good idea. The last stretch of road to the caste was a mixture of mud and cow pats! Not ideal for the tourist with the white shoes and trousers we met while there :-) The castle itself is quite impressive. It looks like what most kids expect a castle to look like. All entrance doors and lower floor (basement?) entrances have been blocked. However there are some windows at ground level on the outside, and a drop of about 8ft on the inside. So be careful if you have young kids. Well worth the walk to see a fairly well preserved castle, and nice views down towards the bay and beaches.

    After a hike in the Connemara national park, I was famished. My friend drove to Clifden and asked…read moreme to choose a restaurant of my liking. It was almost 4:00 pm and some restaurants were ready to serve dinner. I saw Mitchell's was to serve lunch until 4:30 pm. So we went. The servers and the manager (could be the owner) were very friendly and quick. Both my friend and I ordered the Hereford beef burger. I ordered a seafood chowder and pistachio cake for dessert. The chowder truly hit the spot. It wasn't thick and full of seafood. The burger was good, but I think the fries cut was too thick. It was nice the burger came with a small salad, which we didn't know and my friend ordered a small side salad. So we ended up with lots of salad. The fresh cream on the dessert plate was delicious. It went well with the pistachio cake. However, it was a bit hard to taste the pistachio. We chatted up with a couple who bike to Clifden once a year and they always come to Mitchell's for lunch, especially for the seafood chowder and crème brûler. High praise indeed. Highly recommend this place. I picked the right place.

    This is a charming restaurant. We came without a reservation but were quite happy they had room…read morefor us upstairs. The upstairs is just as delightful as the downstairs. The food was really great. Super fresh seafood prepared perfectly. We enjoyed-- and ate! -- every bite! We also found the prices quite reasonable considering how nice the place was and the quality of the food.
