Review:
Connemara is a diverse landscape on the west coast of Ireland that is made up of bogs, lakes, and mountains. Just west of Galway, many villages dot the roads of Connemara that can be explored by foot, boat, or bicycle. There is also a mix of deserted and inhabited islands along the rugged coast of Connemara. The rugged landscape makes Connemara perfect for families and visitors that love fishing, hiking, mountain biking, rock climbing, sailing, horseback riding, and water sports. One of the best times to visit Connemara is during the festivals including the Connemara Pony Festival which the region is known for. This festival occurs annually in August and is followed in September by the Clifden Arts Festivals. Both of these events are highly attended. Connemara
