1 CONNEMARA NATIONAL PARK
Home to the Twelve Bens range and fields of purple moor grass, this almost 5,000-acre reserve is a haven for wildlife-lovers. Keep your eyes peeled for stoats, shrews and a multitude of birds, as well as the iconic Connemara pony. Choose from a variety of trails, with options for walkers of all levels; the sweeping views, all the way to the Atlantic on a clear day, are well worth it. connemaranationalpark.ie
