Connemara

Letterfrack or Letterfrac (Irish: Leitir Fraic or Leiter Bhreac , meaning 'speckled hill-side or sloping field') is a small village in the Connemara area of County Galway, Ireland.

Connemara is a region found in Co Galway. The word itself comes from the ancient Gaelic language and means “Inlets for the Sea”. It is pronounced con- uh-mar-ah. A visitor to this region of Ireland cannot help but be bowled over by its untouched, awe inspiring, serene beauty.

Letterfrack is renowned for its live traditional Irish music. The well-known traditional music lover, Leo Hallisey, organizes “Bog Week” and “Sea Week”, two immensely popular festival events.

This is a terrific mountain trail in Connemara National Park that provides great views throughout. Some parts can get rather slippery after rainfall, and the weather can change quickly, so best to check the weather forecast before setting out and to come prepared with appropriate footwear and layers.
