Cong Woods
A Karst Landscape
The woods between Cong and Clonbur are home to an amazing karst landscape. Limestone is soluble in acid water (like rain). Over time, cracks become fissures and entire cave systems are born; like the Pigeon Hole in Cong Woods.
Killary Fjord
Ireland's Only Fjord
It’s the only fjord, or glacially over-deepened sea valley, in Ireland. Killary presents its dramatic scenery of mountains dropping into the sea over its long and winding course.
Clonbur Limestone Pavement
Weathering over the past 10,000 years
This limestone formed during the Carboniferous Period when Ireland was at the equator, and warm, tropical water habitats dominated.
Glen Inagh
Panoramic View Of Connemara
Glacial valley in between two quartzite mountain ranges. The Maumturk mountains offer panoramic views of Connemara, right down to the coast.
