Connemara is a unique and very special part of County Galway.
It is situated on the most western seaboard of Europe, and features
breathtaking scenery, a rugged unpolluted coastline, dramatic
mountains, numerous lakes and rivers, woodlands, and a National Park.
A wide variety of outdoor activities includes fresh water and deep
sea angling, walking, cycling, canoeing, surfing, sailing, swimming,
diving, sea-cruising, snorkeling, golfing, pony trekking and bird
watching. Some of Ireland's finest scenery is in North Connemara.
The area's National Park covers about 4,000 acres of untamed
countryside,around the village of Lettterfrack which was founded by
the Quakers.
Four of the Twelve Ben mountain range, including Galway's highest,
Benbaun, are in the park so it's ideal for hill-walking.
This area is rich in archaeological remains. The roads around Lough
Inagh, Kylemore and Leenane are especially scenic. Killary Harbour,
which separates Galway from Mayo is on the road to Leenane.
This long, narrow, fjord like inlet, sheltered by mountain walls,
is very impressive.

The tower was built by Cornelius O'Brien, a descendant of Brian Boru, the High King of Ireland and the O'Briens of Bunratty Castle as an observation point for the hundreds of tourists who even visited the Cliffs.
From here one can easily view the Cliffs, the Aran Islands, and Galway Bay as well as the Twelve Pins and the Maum Turk mountains to the North in Connemara and Loop Head to the South.
The Burren and The Cliffs Of Moher ( Tickets can be purchased at Sea Breeze B&B )
Many of the views around The Burren are truly spectacular.
You won't forget Corkscrew Hill and its vista across Galway Bay; or the
journey around Black Head or the view from Ballinalacken Hill across to the
Aran Islands.
The Cliffs are 8kms long 214m high, it is here that one can most easily
get a fell for the wildness of the terrain over which the Celts
wandered, for although they built imposing Castles, very often
they preferred the outdoor nomadic life and the hunt.
