Clifden can be found about 50 miles north west of Galway city. This diamond shaped town is the largest town west of Galway, making it the capital of the Connemara region. The town of Clifden was established by a landlord called John D’Arcy at the start of the 19th century so on relative terms, it’s not as old as other Irish towns. Clifden is a great base for exploring the Connemara region as it’s got plenty of accommodation whether you would prefer to stay in a Clifden holiday home, a Clifden bed and breakfast or a Clifden hotel.

Clifden is easily reached from Galway city by taking the N59 from the city to Oughterard, then onto Maam Cross, Recess and finally Clifden.

Connemara

Connemara is located on the west coast if Ireland. It is in this area that Connemara marble is found. This beautiful marble offers a range of color tones. How fitting for Ireland that one of its natural treasures is the only green marble known to exist!

Connemara marble is often referred to as “Ireland’s gemstone” due to its beauty and the fact that Ireland is the sole source.

Connemara marble has found literally scores of uses throughout history. Connemara marble has also been a traditional gift of friendship between families.

Holding Connemara marble in your hand reminds you of the wonderful green hills and landscape of Ireland.
