Oughterard

Gateway to Connemara
While not strictly speaking on the Wild Atlantic Way, we have selected Oughterard as your place to stay while discovering the Galway section of the coastal route. Nestling on the banks of Lough Corrib, this vibrant little angling village proclaims itself “Gateway to Connemara” and since the Connemara region makes up a major part of the Wild Atlantic Way, Galway, it is the perfect base for you to settle in and discover the region.

Connemara

Sacred Landscape of Mystery and Legend
A large section of the Wild Atlantic Way Galway route skirts the stunningly beautiful Connemara region. This rugged landscape is made up of mountain ranges, lakes and small stone-walled fields leading down to a coastline littered with sandy beaches tucked away among the rocks. The landscape changes constantly with the light so that, no matter how often you visit this incredible place, it never seems the same.

Ireland's 2nd Largest County

Lots more to explore
As you might expect from Ireland’s second largest county, Galway has much more to offer than its rugged coastline. Whether you are looking to hike in Connemara National Park, take a trip to the islands off the coast, visit bustling Galway city with its vibrant Latin Quarter, or venture inland to the lakes and smaller towns that dot the landscape between the Atlantic and the River Shannon. Venture back in time with a visit to one of the many castles in the region or ramble around gardens and forests walks.
