The West Coast
Powerful, wild and wonderful
Limerick, Clare, Galway and Mayo, Ireland's West Coast welcomes you with wonderfully unique charms. Market towns and villages full of character; an ancient and unspoilt land encompassing dramatic coastlines of rugged headlands, mist laced hills, craggy mountains, shimmering estuaries and fertile bogs. A haven for wildlife and plants, the region is renowned for outdoor fun with a dazzling range of activities from which to choose. The rolling Atlantic Ocean plays a huge part in the lives of the communities, which is reflected in their rich history, music and art. Walk the incomparable Galway Bay and take a boat out to the Aran Islands. Visit ancient settlements, fine houses and great local pubs; try your hand at sea fishing and join in with the 'craic' at many of the local festivals throughout the year.
