A wonderful park to hike in, Connemara shows off the rugged Irish countryside at its best.

These cliffs are, at the highest point, a shear drop down 700ft (214m) to the Atlantic Ocean. The view from the top is spectacular.

Ireland is as famous for castles as it is for Guinness. Dotted everywhere on the Emerald Isle, the castles connect modern day tourists with the dramatic history of Ireland.
