Overview

Connemara by bike. Cycling in the mythical wilderness of the West of Ireland. Pedal your way through a legendary land of strong identity and fabulous landscapes. Located on the west coast of Ireland, in County Galway, Connemara is a region that has a lot to offer cycling travelers. It's a land of contrasts, where nature is as raw as the inhabitants are warm-hearted. Wild and spectacular landscapes rub shoulders with small, quiet villages. The journey will also take you to meet the Irish people and their traditions, with stops in picturesque villages with dry-stone walls, or typical little seaside harbours. The region's cultural heritage also includes such gems as Kylemore Abbey, Cong Abbey and Ashford Castle.
