Oughterard, Co. Galway



At Easter we headed across Ireland to Galway and stayed at a small town call Oughterard, on the shores of Lough Corrib, the largest lake in Ireland. We stayed in a guesthouse and had a traditional Irish breakfast (well the options were there, we didn't try the black pudding or sausages) and woke to an amazing view - see pictures. This a big angling area and the 'Gateway to the Connemara, a wonderful wild area of Ireland with stunning mountains and lakes and bogs and rugged coastline. We were welcomed by Michael who made us a pot of tea and we sat by the peat fire getting the low down on the area from him.
