Connemara has long been regarded as the real emerald of Ireland. This natural terrain and unspoilt environment offers visitors a wonderland of sights, experiences, adventure and activities. Cilfden is the capital of Connemara and is set between the Atlantic Ocean, the Twelve Ben Mountains and preserved boglands. Clifden was one of the last towns to be built in Ireland with the vision of creating a thriving commercial centre in a resource – rich, but poverty stricken region. To this day it remains a very busy bustling town and is also gaining the emerging reputation as the West’s Gourmet Capital.

The area is well known for its sporting and country activities. The Ballyconnelly Golf Course is a world renowned Links Course while there is numerous fishing lakes, rivers and streams. Brown trout maybe caught, but the fisherman’s ultimate catch is the majestic Atlantic salmon and nearby are some of the best internationally renowned game fisheries.
