The beaches of West Connemara


Along the ragged coastline in the west of Connemara you will find some of the most beautiful beaches in Ireland. Here, the coast is made up of a number of peninsulas jagging out into the wild atlantic sea. Long white sandy beaches, unspoilt bays and myriads of small offshore islands give this region a rare scenic beauty. Have a look at a few of the fine beaches along the western shores of Connemara.

Clifden Castle, Co. Galway


Clifden Castle is quite a sight! Straight out of a fairytale, clad in ivy, enchanted, maybe even haunted..! It was commissioned to be built in 1815 by John d'Arcy of the famous Galway d'Arcys, one of the fourteen families of the "Tribes of Galway".
