Expect warm welcomes, foot-tapping trad sessions, and scenery that swings from dramatic cliffs to rolling green pastures. The loop below packs in the highlights yet leaves room for lingering over a pint by a peat fire.
About this stop: Scenic loop best driven clockwise with the tour buses to avoid hair-raising passing.
