County
Galway (Irish: Contae na Gaillimhe) is located
on the west coast of Ireland. It is in the Irish
province of Connacht. The county takes its name
from the city of Galway. The landscape in County
Galway is varied. The interior is largely flat,
while the Connemara, in the northwest is a region
of ancient glacier scared mountains, blanket bog
peatlands and rugged coastlines. The Aran Islands
and the south are rocky and barren places, containing
numerous stone age forts, including Dun Aenghus
beautiful in its isolation. The area has a rolling
landscape with the Slieve Aughty Mountains in
the south, the River Shannon (Lough Derg) in the
east and Galway Bay to the west. There are many
attractive country towns worth visiting along
with many historic sites and monuments.
