Connemara

Connemara is the district in western Galway extending between Lough Corrib and the much-indented coast of Ireland, to the north of Galway Bay. The people in this region are steeped in tradition and in large parts of Connemara Irish is still spoken. Road signs are in Irish script.

Scenery of superb grandeur - ranges of hills and bare isolated peaks, valleys enclosing the black waters of many loughs, a coastline of alternating rocky cliffs and sandy bays: all this makes Connemara one of Ireland's supreme attractions, appealing to tourists, to sportsmen and to holidaymakers who seek quiet and relaxation.
