Driving westwards along Galway’s coast, the variation in the landscape will strike you. On the left is the powerful Atlantic and to your right is Connemara, a scenic vista of bogs, valleys, and lakes.
Fishing villages nestle among the white sands, rocky headlands, and offshore islands while inland the landscape is a dense blanket bog with The Twelve Bens mountain range as its backdrop.
Still unspoiled and relatively unexplored, you will find clean beaches, scenic walks, and regardless of where you turn you are never far from the sea.
