Connemara is a maze of varied landscapes and is steeped in a variety of different types of stunning natural beauty. It has all the wilderness and charm that has charactorised Ireland as a whole and a visit to this area would be a highlight of any holiday. Here is a list of some of the must see attractions that you may well come accross on a drive through Connemara.
The Sky Road.
This is a road between Letterfrack and Clifden. It is a twenty mintue coastal drive.
The Connemara National Park.
The Connemara National Park has a very well laid out man made path of wood (so its really safe) that leads up the Diamond Mountain and affords stunning panoramic views of all of Conemara and varied landscapes. An afternoon here is highly reccomended.
Kylemore Abbey.
This is where authentic country Ireland meets majestic castle. Kylemore Abbey is one of the most photographed attractions in Ireland.
Roundstone Village.
Roundstone has been heralded as the most picturesque village in Ireland. It is still a working fishing village where you can feel part of the community. It also features Gurteen Bay which is very beautiful.
