Introducing Clifden & Around
Connemara’s ‘capital’, Clifden (An Clochán), presides over the head of the narrow bay where the River Owenglin tumbles into the sea. Its Victorian houses and church spires rise on the horizon as you approach the town from the coast road, and the surrounding countryside offers walks through woods and above the shoreline.

Though the summer months clog Clifden’s streets with tourists, winter gives the town a faded, forgotten charm. Year-round, its easy access by public or private transport (about 80km from Galway city) and good facilities make it a useful stop while exploring the region.
