Shortest route from Belfast to Clifden

The shortest and most scenic option takes about 6.5 hours. You would head SW from Belfast, on the M-1/A-4 toward Sligo, then south on the N-17/N-5 to Clifden. The fastest way (a bit under 6 hours), goes south from Belfast on the A-1/M-1 towards Dublin, then west on the M-4/M-6 toward Galway and NW on the N-59.
