Renvyle


Renvyle Peninsula, Connemara, Co. Galway

The serene Renvyle peninsula is located at the far western edge of Ireland and is a place in which to enjoy the fresh sea air, peace, beauty and closeness of nature. Amidst this alluring landscape, you will find Derryinver Quay and Ballinakill Harbour , one of the loveliest harbours in the world, from where you can enjoy a scenic coastal cruise. The peninsula has been described by Augustus John as "the most beautiful landscape in the world" and it has inspired some renowned works of art by Yeats, Gogarty and Oscar Wilde. The beach racing scene in the film "The Quiet Man" was shot at nearby Lettergesh beach.





Our Take

Renvyle seems so removed from it all and although not that far from either the Connemara National Park & Kylemore Abbey, seems to avert the gaze of the average visitor. Worth straying off the main trodden track and enter this peninsula where you can horse-ride, golf, climb, walk or just stay in a hotel by the sea.
