Connemara National Park is one of the best places to appreciate this unique landscape, with more than 7,000 acres of national park encompassing mountains, including some that are partof the Twelve Bens range, plus Western blanket bog and treeless plainsthat arehome to red deer, sheep, and Connemara ponies. Explore for yourself, and find traces of history dating back thousands of years,including 4,000-year-old megalithic tombs and abandoned farms."
