Connemara (/ ˌkɒnɪˈmɑːrə / KON-ih-MAR-ə; Irish: Conamara [ˌkʊnˠəˈmˠaɾˠə]) [1] is a region on the Atlantic coast of western County Galway, in the west of Ireland.
Connemara is also peppered with some very interesting attractions like the Alcock & Brown Memorial, Kylemore Abbey & Walled Victorian Gardens, Connemara History & Heritage Centre in Clifden, Glengowla Mines in Oughterard, Dan O Hara’s Homestead and the 40,000 acre Connemara National Park.

- Pól Ó Conghaile
- Diamond Hill. For every star God put in the sky, it’s said he tossed a million stones in Connemara. You’ll find a chunk of them on and around this quartzite ridge, which takes its name from the shiny rocks local children once sold to tourists as ‘Irish diamonds’.
- Dog’s Bay. Connemara is four-seasons country, capable of throwing rain, wind and sunshine at you within a single afternoon. Luckily, Dog’s Bay and Gurteen, two beaches sitting back to back on an isthmus off the Ballyconneely peninsula, drop jaws in any weather.
- Omey Island. You can reach Omey at low tide via a causeway from Claddaghduff. It’s an odd feeling to drive or walk for half a mile across the rippled sand, but the break with the mainland is magical, delivering you to an outpost whose treasures include a sunken church (Teampaill Féichín).
- Kylemore Abbey. Set between Doughrough Mountain and Lough Pollacappul, this turreted pile has a self-guided tour telling the story of the castle and abbey.
