Why Connemara National Park matters
Connemara National Park is wild and open. Boggy valleys, quartzite peaks and sweeping views make it great for walking, and the visitor centre offers a short route up Diamond Hill. It is a taste of the west's wilder landscape, where wild ponies and red deer roam.
Talking points
- Diamond Hill offers a great viewpoint.
- The Twelve Bens mountains dominate.
- Connemara ponies graze in the area.
