County Galway and Clare
Some of Ireland's most picturesque scenery fans out from Galway, particularly along the breathtaking Connemara Peninsula. Tiny roads wander along a coastline studded with islands, dazzling white sandy beaches and intriguing villages; the interior shelters heath-strewn boglands, glassy lakes, looming mountains and isolated valleys. Offshore, the wild and beautiful eroded swathes of the Aran Islands possess a desolate and windswept yet entrancing aura. Clare combines spectacular windswept landscapes where the ocean relentlessly pounds the coast year-round, eroding rock into fantastic formations, and fashioning sheer rock crags including those at the iconic Cliffs of Moher and at ends-of-the-earth Loop Head.

Killary Harbour - Connemara - County Galway
Killary Harbour is Ireland’s only true fjord and it extends 10 miles from the Atlantic coast deep into its head at the wonderful Aasleagh Falls. It is stunningly beautiful along its full length, and forms a dramatic border between counties Galway and Mayo. And here in this remarkable glacial valley are some of the most spectacular vistas in the West of Ireland.
