History
The Connemara National Park covers some 2,000 hectares (4,942 acres), consisting of entirely natural and unspoilt terrain. It is an environment which offers the visitor endless sights, experiences, adventure and activity.
The people are friendly, welcoming and only too delighted to see new faces in the area. There is much to see in Connemara with the scenic Twelve Bens mountain range in the north, the picturesque, golden beaches reaching out into the vast Atlantic Ocean and the Roundstone Bog. Any time of the year it is ideal to take a break here. In spring, the beautiful, spring flowers, the new-born lambs dancing on the hills and the call of the cuckoo make it a unique and magical place.
During the warm summer days, one can take in the awesome Connemara countryside with its gentle hills and golden, sandy beaches which are ideal for safe swimming. On cool autumn days, the Connemara countryside boasts different colours every day. If desired, one can spend the day walking, cycling, golfing, painting, horse riding, shooting or fishing. In any weather, the Connemara countryside and atmosphere is magical. If in the area, a trip to Connemara is not to be missed.
The Connemara visitor centre is situated near Letterfrack and attractions include exhibitions, nature trails, audio-visual show. In addition there is a summer programme of walks, talks and special events for younger visitors. Access for visitors with disabilities in the Visitor Centre.
