This is a not to be missed section of County Galway up in the northwestern region of the island! Probably one of the most beautiful spots in all Ireland. It's wild and wonderful all at once. The Connemara is immediately northwest of Galway city - a vivid patchwork of rusty bogs, lonely valleys, pale grey mountains, and small black lakes that shimmer when the sun shines. Inside the area you'll find the Twelve Bens - quartzite peaks of medium stature mountains.
The coastal road of R336 skirts a tortuous series of small bays and inlets, and connects a sucession of Irish speaking villages and tiny towns. Leave a Comment Address: R336Directions: Northwest of Galway City centre

Hiking around this lake one afternoon, I happened upon a group of German campers. Camping and biking in the Irish countryside is an excellent idea and seemed in 1990 to have been particularly popular among Germans. Leave a Comment

Visit to the Connemara National Park when you're at the Connemara area. Go for a good hiking, you can choose a shorter track (3km) if you're not ready for a longer hike. Enjoy the breeze and the view. I were not a good hiker, but i didnt felt like i've walked for 3km when I got so enjoy the nice view while walking.
On your way to the national park, remember to stop by and visit the beautiful Kylemore Abbey too. You wont regret stopping by to take a few snapshots.

 RENT A CAR.... by eden_teuling
You can make reservations (wich is cheaper especially when you do it at the same time you book your flight or......just rent one at the AIRPORT where several well known names are represented: Herz, Avis etc......
Ireland is a country that begs to be toured from north to south and from east to west!!
I definately would feel lost and miserable without a car! Leave a Comment

Connemara is the name of a region consisting of a large portion of County Galway. It is one of the most scenic regions of Ireland and a drive through (if not a longer stay) is highly recommended if you are near Galway. The northern portion of Connemara is one of Ireland's six national parks. Connemara is also a "Gaeltacht", meaning Irish Gaelic is the primary language spoken here. The residents might speak English too... or they might not.
