Review:
Connemara is a lovely district in western Ireland, located along the country's Atlantic Ocean coastline. The charming district showcases rural Ireland at its best, home to beautiful attractions like the expansive Connemara National Park, known for its mountain ranges, bogs, lakes, and heathland stretches and populations of wild Connemara ponies. Visitors can explore the region's Diamond Hill Loop Walk, which showcases the famed peaks of the Twelve Ben Mountains, or explore the quaint coves, bays, and fishing villages at sites such as Roundstone. Kylemore Abbey stands on the shores of Lough Pollacopall, built in 1871 by Mitchell Henry as a romantic monument to his wife, Margaret. In the lively town of Clifden, visitors can enjoy traditional Irish music at a number of concert venues and pubs.
