The County Galway / County Clare / County Galway region

Clifden is the capital of Connemara one of the most scenic regions in Ireland with it's rugged landscape, wildlife, flora and fauna. John D'Arcy founded Clifden in 1812. The opening of the Galway to Clifden railway line in 1895 did much to improve the economy of the town and helped to establish Connemara as a tourist destination. The opening of the Marconi Wireless station at Derrygimla in October 1907, and the arrival of the first transatlantic flight there on 15 June 1919, brought fame in the early years of the 20th century. Clifden today is a bustling, vibrant and cultural town. with it's great selection of local shops, superb restaurants, excellent nightlife with traditional irish music and dance.
