Oughterard is a traditional village on the shores of Lough Corrib, Ireland's largest lake. The village sits at the gateway to Connemara and is only a short drive from the vibrant city of Galway. With its traditional, colourful stone shopfronts and 16th century Aughnanure Castle, it perfectly combines old Irish charm with modern service and comfort. Further attractions include lovely gift shops, cruises on the lake, an 18 hole golf club and delightful restaurants. The crowning jewel of the village is the lovely Owenriff River running through it, beginning in the Connemara mountains and flowing, at the edge of town, into Lough Corrib.
