Cong Attractions

The village of Cong (Cunga Feichin, "Isthmus of Feichin") lies in the far west of Ireland, on the isthmus between Lough Mask and Lough Corrib (good fishing in both loughs), to the north of Galway Bay and close to the boundary between the counties of Mayo and Galway. The last High King of Ireland, Roderick O'Conor, died in Cong in 1198, after 15 years spent in monastic seclusion.
