The Sky Road

This is a road between Letterfrack and Clifden. It is a twenty minute coastal drive.

Connemara National Park

The Connemara National Park has a very well laid out man made path of wood (so its really safe) that leads up the Diamond Mountain and affords stunning panoramic views of all of Connemara and varied landscapes. An afternoon here is highly recommended.

Kylemore Abbey

This is where authentic country Ireland meets majestic castle. Kylemore Abbey is one of the most photographed attractions in Ireland.

Roundstone Village

Roundstone has been heralded as the most picturesque village in Ireland. It is still a working fishing village where you can feel part of the community. It also features Gurteen Bay which is very beautiful.
