R341 road (Ireland)
The R341 road is a regional road in Ireland. It is a loop road from the N59 road in County Galway. South of the R342, the road is part of the Wild Atlantic Way.Route
The R341 travels south from the N59 passing Ballynahinch Castle and through the village of Roundstone. The road then travels west past Maumeen Lough before heading north to Ballyconneely. Finally the road reaches Clifden where it rejoins the N59. The R341 is long. The inland side of the road is largely occupied by the Connemara Bog Complex Special Area of Conservation.History
There are two significant historical sites by the R341. About south of Clifden, a memorial marks the place where the transatlantic flight of Alcock and Brown landed. Further along the road, near Ballyconneely, is the site where Guglielmo Marconi established the first transatlantic telegraph service.
