Walking in Connemara

Connemara National Park is an iconic wild landscape offering coastal, island, and mountain discovery, on the western edge of Europe. As Oscar Wilde put it “Connemara is a savage beauty” and the best way to explore it is on foot. Experience the unforgettable views across to the Twelve Ben Mountains and the small bays and coves of its sublime peninsulas that reach out into the ocean. This is a stunning section of the Wild Atlantic Way. Experience Clifden, Connemara’s capital, and its emerging reputation for the best food on Ireland’s west coast. Enjoy tasty seafood such as crab claws with delicious soda bread. Then walk the very pretty Aughrus peninsula, cross the sand flats to the tidal Isle of Omey and board a ferry to pretty Inishbofin Island. Walk the Western Way from Lough Inagh to Leenane, situated at the head of Killary Harbour, the Emerald Isle’s only true fjord.
