The R261 road is a regional road in Ireland. It is a loop road from the N56 road on the Loughrea Peninsula in County Donegal.[2][3] The road forms part of the Wild Atlantic Way.[4]

The R261 travels west from the N56 at Maas to a minor road leading to the beach villages of Narin[3] and Portnoo. From this junction the road travels south, passing the megalithic tombs of Kilclooney More, to rejoin the N56 at Ardara. The R261 is 13.5 km (8.4 mi) long.[1]
