Walking in the West of Ireland

Connemara has long been regarded as the real emerald of Ireland and a paradise for walkers. Oscar Wilde described Connemara as "A place of savage beauty".
Fishing in the West of Ireland
The West of Ireland offers some of the best fishing in Europe for wild brown trout, Atlantic salmon and sea trout in rivers and loughs. The great Western loughs – Corrib, Mask and Conn – are unique as venues for wild brown trout fishing, while the river Moy is one of the most productive salmon and Grilse Rivers in Europe. Numerous other rivers and loughs abound in the area, offering the visiting angler a wide choice of fishing, depending on weather and water conditions and his/her preferences.
