Sitting on the west coast of Ireland, and therefore the very edge of Europe itself, is the unspoiled area sometimes referred to as ‘the real emerald of Ireland’, Connemara. Boasting landscapes that range from the tranquil to the dramatic, and encompassing mountains, bogs, beaches and villages, it is a genuinely magnificent setting within which to explore and enjoy the kind of warm welcome the people of Ireland have always been proud of offering to visitors.

Watch cheetahs running at full speed for their lunch and feed penguins and lemurs in this large nature reserve on an island.

Outdoor pursuits, culture and history aplenty: Connemara\'s largest town provides a full day or two of entertainment.

Slieve League is a large mountain overlooking the Atlantic Ocean, in the secluded and remote County Donegal on the north-west coast of Ireland. At almost 2,000 feet high, Slieve League has some of the tallest sea cliffs in Ireland. They are, in fact, even higher than the famous Cliffs of Moher on the south-west coast of the country.

See this icon of Irish legend and the poetry of W.B. Yeats from all over the county. Climb to its summit for magnificent coastal views.
