Clifden,
Connemara, Co Galway
The West of Ireland is an enchanting place
filled with wonderfully atmospheric towns and villages, long stretches of
stunning coastline, soaring sea cliffs, and craggy countryside that boasts
a uniquely desolate beauty and a vibrant cultural heritage rich in
tradition.
From the rugged Twelve Bens mountain range
in the north through lake-rich Roundstone Bog to the golden beaches
reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean,
you’ll know you're in Connemara
by the light that constantly changes the mood and tone of the landscape.
Connemara has long been
regarded as the real emerald of Ireland.
This natural terrain and un-spoilt environment offers the visitor a
wonderland of sights, experiences, adventure and activities. The people are
warm, friendly and extend a hospitality that is the essence of Ireland.
