Lough Corrib with the Connemara mountains in the backgroundLough Corrib is the largest lake in the Republic of Ireland and is famous for its 365 islands. This picture was taken at the northern end of the lake just outside Cong in county Mayo where the Quiet Man was filmed. The drive from Ashford Castle in Cong through Cornamona and on through the Maam valley to the fjord at Leenane is a really beautiful drive. From there you can travel on to Kylemore Abbey and Clifden.
My latest group arrived in Dublin yesterday and tomorrow we continue on our way into Connemara to Ballinahinch castle. They will be staying in Ballinahinch castle for two nights. This is a beautiful place for a special break and a great place for anybody interested in fishing as the river through its grounds is renowned for its salmon fishing. There are also lovely walks through the woods here and the setting is right in the heart of this wonderful region known as God's country. I am sure that their stay here will be one that they will remember.
I will be reporting as we go so journey along with us if you have the time.
