Holiday Castle Rentals in West of Ireland

West of Ireland is made up of the counties of Donegal, Leitrim, Sligo, Roscommon, Mayo, Galway, Clare, Tipperary, and Limerick. It incorporates both the Shannon and Connemara regions.

The West of Ireland, particularly Donegal, is famous for its music and has seen many successful artists emerge, inspired by their native surroundings. Long stretches of stunning Atlantic coastline serve as a brilliant backdrop for some fantastic surfing opportunities. The soaring Cliffs of Moher, combined with Clare’s mystical lunar landscape of the Burren, are two particularly memorable attractions. Fishing is also a popular activity, both at sea and inland on famous rivers such as the Shannon; others tend towards golf as a relaxing pastime in such an unspoilt environment.

The dauntingly beautiful Ballyhoura Mountains overlook the emerald-green countryside of Limerick, and a trek to the top of Ben Bulben in Sligo is rewarded with breathtaking views of the poet Yeats’ county. From Galway and Mayo you can also escape to the outliers such as the Aran islands and Achill Island, or for those who like to stay at sea level but on remain land, there are Roscommon’s Lough Key Forest Park, and Donegal’s Glenveagh National Park to wander through.
