Oughterard
Oughterard sits on Lough Corrib about 27 kilometres northwest of Galway city along the N59, making it the gateway to Connemara. The half-hour drive from Galway passes through rolling countryside before opening into the wilder western landscapes. Most visitors use the town as a base for exploring Connemara or as a day trip from Galway. The stone bridge crossing the Owenriff River on the main street is quite distinctive, spanning the water just before it flows into Ireland's second-largest lake.
