Connemara has Something for Everyone this Autumn

From the rugged Twelve Bens mountain range in the north through to the lake-rich Roundstone Bog and all the way to the golden beaches reaching out into the Atlantic Ocean, you’ll know you are in Connemara.

The light magically changes the mood and tone of the landscape with Connemara long regarded as the real emerald of Ireland.

This natural terrain and unspoiled environment offers the visitor a wonderland of sights, experiences, adventure and activities.

The people are warm, friendly and extend a hospitality which is the essence of Ireland.

In the evening enjoy lovely warm turf fires after a day spent walking, cycling, painting, shooting, fishing or golfing.
