Connemara: the best of the west

Martin Claffey enjoys a walking break in the stunning surrounds of Connemara.

TRAVELLING along the Sky Road above Clifden, high above the roaring Atlantic Ocean below, it’s not hard to think you have reached the very edge of the world.

It’s not quite unchartered territory, but for me, it certainly felt that way. Famed worldwide, untamed Connemara remains a perfect option to change pace and enjoy a real Irish getaway that can leave you feeling you’re the first to experience it.
