On the west side situated betweeen Lough Corrib and the Atlantic Ocean is the magnificent, scenic Connemara. The mountain range of Twelve Bens overlooks the area. Most of the residents in the area speak Irish and their Gaelic culture is still very evident. To the east of the loch is a plain of limestone which is very fertile, it stretches as far as the border of Galway-Roscommon and the Shannon River. South of the lake is Galway City and its suburb of Salthill. It attracts many tourists and leads to the most scenic parts of Galway.

The scenery in Connemara which is in the far west of Galway is one of the most stunning in Ireland. Enjoy a relaxing holiday here by its coastline which is rugged and see the mountains, the Irish bogs and the views by the side of the lake.
