Heading west for Connemara? Pack the walking shoes and make sure to take in a beautiful walk around Connemara and the Islands. There are trails to suit every level of fitness, from day-long treks to gentle walks – there is a Connemara walk for everyone!
There is no better feeling that hitting the road, in any season, in any weather and allowing yourself the time and space to connect with the landscape in any way you wish. Take in the panoramic views, inhale the soft scent of wildflowers, taste the honey from the bright pink fuchsia, hear the buzzing of the bees and insects as they fly past, busy at work and watch the every-changing sky with its rolling clouds and vibrant colours.
