| The picturesque village of Leenane, snugly situated at the head of Killary Harbour, is often described as the "Gateway to Connemara". The roads from Galway, Clifden & Westport meet at this point. The village was originally Líonán Cinn Mhara, meaning "the little (tide) filling (place) at the head of the sea".
The breathtaking scenery equals or surpasses anything else that Ireland has to offer. The only true fjord in Ireland, Killary lies placidly between two rows of guarding mountains, combining mountain ruggedness and the calmness of the sheltered waters. |
