About County Galway

County Galway is located in the beautiful west of Ireland. It is famed the world over for its raw natural beauty, the Connemara landscape, its island studded coastline, and vibrant Galway city, the most westerly city in Europe.

County Galway is the second largest county is Ireland and is divided into two distinctive parts by Ireland's largest lake Lough Corrib. To the east of Lough Corrib, you'll find rich rolling pastures, while to the west of the lake you'll find a rugged terrain. This area is home to Connemara - a magical place that's sure to capture the heart of any traveller.

Connemara

Drive the 45km Connemara Loop and you'll enter a world where time has stood still. Here you'll see pre-historic bogs, magnificent mountains, sandy beaches, Connemara National Park, the wild Atlantic Ocean and some archaeological sights.

Connemara is also Ireland's largest Gaeltacht (Irish speaking), so you might be lucky enough to hear the friendly locals speaking in their native tongue. Clifden is considered to be the main town in Connemara and makes a great base for touring with lots of accommodation, restaurants and traditional Irish pubs.

Galway's coastline and islands

The Galway coastline has some spectacular scenery and no less than 18 islands! Four of these are inhabited including the Aran Islands and Inishbofin. The Aran Islands (Inishmore, Inishmaan and Inisheer) are found about 45km off the coast of Galway and possess some astounding cultural and historical attractions. Getting to the islands is a pleasant experience. You can get a bus from Galway city to the ferry at Rossaveal in Connemara.
