Luxury Vacation Rentals West Ireland
The west of Ireland is, quite simply, a world apart. Beyond the Shannon, along the coast of County Clare, the highest cliffs in these islands tower over the Atlantic; inland lies the extraordinary Burren area, a vast series of limestone terraces sheltering a profusion of rare flora, prehistoric monuments and some of western Europe’s most ancient churches. North of lively Galway city lies Connemara – a timeless landscape of mountains, lakes, dry stone walls, fields the size of pocket handkerchiefs, tiny cottages and great castles.![]() Category
