Connemara, Galway, Ireland - Ireland Vacation in Galway
Connemara, Galway is the new destination to head for and this video is all about walking through the area, getting introduced to the different shops and restaurants which are located there and at the same time visiting some of the parks which are located there. We stayed in Clifden town in Galway - which is in the centre of Connemara.
Connemara is a cultural region in county Galway, Ireland and the most famous town in it is Clifden which is always referred to as the capital of Connemara for its size ( This area - Connemara - consists of west Galway, which is the part of the county west of Lough Corrib, contained by Killary Harbour, Galway Bay, and the Atlantic Ocean.
After saying goodbye to the apartment which we took in Connemara in order to enjoy the vacation we have been on, we went through the streets of the town and came across some of the places which we found suggested by those who have been there before, such as the Connemara Heritage and History Centre which is placed in Clifden, the Marconi Station in Clifden where the Alcock and Brown landing site is also located, there is the Clifden Castle, the Aughnanure Castle which is found in Oughterard, and other places which you could visit according to the place you are going to be staying at and which is close to you.
While walking through these different shops, we entered some and one of them got the attention of the kids who kept walking through the toys and even chose to buy a toy instead of getting ice cream - which was a tough decision to take but they eventually made their minds - adults were the ones to choose ice cream at that point and leave the kids for the toys.
We then moved forward with the trip to reach the national park in which we walked there, got inside the visitor centre and were introduced to all the different information that were written inside there and which were shown to us through different ways, like pictures and real examples and where we also got the chance to know more about the old stories of the witches and fairies. It was really interesting inside this visitor centre for the kids who were receiving different information in a more interesting and well-informing way.
Completing the journey we have started in Connemara, we then moved forward to reach all those other nature destinations which we fell in love with and loved the way we managed to take videos of - drone - before we headed to the next and final place which we were going to visit - the most important thing to mention here is the views which one will get while driving from one place to the other; we were enjoying the visit from every single possible angle.
The second park we visited during our trip to Connemara was more of climbing a hill to reach the top and see what it has to offer us. This was also interesting since one of the most famous things known about Connemara is its marble stone, which we managed to get across some on our walk through this hill. The whole thing was different and even the views we managed to collect on this trip were all very natural - we will never get over the photos we have taken and those videos we also brought back home with us.
There are lots of things which we discovered about Connemara, such as the fact that it carries some linguistics traditions as being one of the largest Gaeltacht (Irish-speaking) regions that locals use on a daily basis. This will be interesting for those who want to learn this language or even want just to see how people are dealing with it - it is not that easy though. It is not just about the language which the people of Connemara are using, but there are actually lots of differences found in this region which are related to history as well as to their musical interests.
Tourists or visitors to the place - just like us - might not have that much time to learn a language, but they could enjoy listening to the way people talk and deal with one another and they will also get the chance to enjoy getting introduced to those different tastes in music and any other thing - and that's of course after passing by the cultural places and those historical destinations related to the touristic experience which they will be coming in the first place in order to have and know more about.
Since Connemara is part of Galway, it is important to mention that there are different other places which we have been to in Galway before, such as being to the Oranmore Castle ( being to Turoe Pet Farm which was more interesting for the kids ( as well as those beautiful scenes we got the chance to see on the road to Galway ( which was one of our favorite.

The best island in all of Ireland?
Well this is it, the final paddle, and we went out on a high, and what a high. I first paddled with Matt in 2011, and we've done some amazing, memorable paddles together, and shared with others also. This little gem, lying just off the Donegal coast, is up there with any of the paddles we've done. In fact, as an easy day paddle, it is just about as perfect as one could hope for. We drove down the lane through the Golf Club on Cruitch Island, to check the sea state, and decided to have the day there, as time was already marching on, and it just looked perfectly inviting, and here are the results.
Walking the Westport Greenway, Mayo, Ireland, Feb 2018
Video clips of our walk along the Westport Greenway, starting from an access point in Westport and walking in a westerly direction. This is a lovely walk and one we hope to do again in the future. Great scenery in the background of Croagh Patrick.
