About this activity

Connemara is a district in western Ireland, facing the Atlantic. Its coastline has tiny coves, bays and fishing villages.

Wide open spaces, towering mountains and beautiful beaches, Connemara is one of Ireland's most stunning spots.

Connemara National Park is a vast expanse of mountains, bogs, heathland and lakes. The park is also home to a herd of Connemara ponies. The area’s main town, Clifden, has several venues for traditional Irish music. Here, too, are the ruins of Gothic Revival–style Clifden Castle.
