Connemara is the name of an area that is located in the west of Ireland with a coastline on three sides that overlook the Atlantic. It is a unique parcel of land with its rugged wild and rocky landscape peppered with heather, gorse and mountain streams. Connemara is a worldwide favourite holiday location for peace and tranquillity. A championship golf course is at Ballyconnelly, about 45 minutes from Glenmore, and two other courses nearer, and there is fishing, walks, and trekking at your doorstep. There is an excellent restaurant less than 200 yards away with a local pub with music most weekends. The local village at 300 yards has a supermarket and post office. Kilkerrin is a village on the Atlantic and 'off the beaten track' and Glenmore is an ideal base to explore the area and for an independent self-catering holiday in a rural and beautiful setting. See Cllifden the main town in Connemara for the many other local activities and events that are held throughout the year.
