Calculating route...

Dooniver sits on Mayo's Atlantic coast where the N59 winds along the spectacular shoreline between Westport and Ballina. From Dublin, take the M4 and M6 west to Galway, then the N17 north before joining the coastal N59, covering roughly 280 kilometers. The town's name means "fort of the estuary," and you can still spot the ancient earthworks where a small river meets the Atlantic tide.
