Welcome to Connemara – Galway’s wild western wonderland where Ireland’s soul shines brightest. Separated from the rest of the county by the majestic Lough Corrib, this enchanting region reveals a tapestry of natural wonders that will steal your heart. You’ll find yourself spellbound by the dramatic Maam Turks (meaning “boar pass” in Gaelic) and the legendary Twelve Bens mountains, peaks whispered to be named after mythical giant Beola.
But Connemara’s true magic lies in its coastal surprises. Killary Harbour’s deep fjord gives way to a breathtaking puzzle of sea and land – where hidden coves meet secret islands and winding roads lead to discoveries around every bend. Don’t be surprised if you can’t tell where glassy lakes end and the Atlantic begins! The coastline offers an abundance of pristine white-sand beaches perfect for refreshing swims in crystal-clear waters.
