Connemara is a district in the west
of Ireland in County Galway. It is one of the most scenic areas
of Ireland, bounded on the west, south and north by the Atlantic.
The main town of Connemara is Clifden. It is located on the Owenglin
River where it flows into Clifden Bay. The town is linked to
Galway city by the N59. The area around Clifden is rich with
megalithic tombs. The famous green/white Connemara Marble was
a trade treasure used by the inhabitants of the time and continues
to be of great value today.
