City Taxis Connemara Tour
Welcome to the City Taxis Galway Connemara tour, read on for a little information about some of the sights you can expect to see on your taxi tour!

  Kylemore

Kylemore (Choill Mhór - the big wood) lies at the top of the Inagh Valley and is hidden between the mountains of Connemara and the Atlantic ocean.

The mountainous valley around Kylemore is an area of old oakwoods which terrace the mountainside.

The area is also famous for angling on the three Kylemore Ioughs, an appealing and refreshing character of the area.

Kylemore is only a short drive from the neighbouring villages of Letterfrack and Leenane.
Picturesque Kylemore Abbey, the home of the Benedictine nuns, stands at the edge of the lake surrounded by woodlands. The gothic castle was built by Mitchell Henry, an English businessman in 1865.

After the tragic death of his wife about a decade later he lost interest in the estate and it was eventually bought by the Benedictine order after fleeing their
convent in Ypres during World War One. The grounds and part of the Abbey are open to the public.
 
  Clifden

Set between the Atlantic Ocean, 12 Ben Mountains and preserved boglands, lies the town of Clifden on the Coast of Connemara.
 An area long recognised as a new popular destination.

Enhanced by spectacular scenery, championship golfing, horse-riding, walking, cycling, hill walking, beaches, fishing, scubadiving, painting, national parks, abbeys, castle ruins and over 5,000 years of living history.
 
  Roundstone

In Roundstone you will find a busy little harbour, where local fishermen prepare and return with the day's catches of lobster, crayfish, crab and mackerel, plus a variety of other fish.
 Roundstone is situated in the heart of Connemara, and is one of the oldest fishing villages on the west coast, and is an area of much natural beauty, as well as being the birth place and inspiration for much of Ireland's artistic creations.

It has also been described many times as a "botanist's delight" as many wild flowers, rare to this country, are
found in the area known as Errisbeg which rises almost to 1,000 ft (west of the village).
