Oughterard is an attractive, bustling village right on the shores of one of Ireland's premier fishing
locations, Lough Corrib.
It is considered the trout angler's dream. Your fishing will be influenced by an ancient ambience
secreted in the rugged landscape of Connemara.
But it's not only for anglers! Oughterard and its surrounding area offers golfing on the newly developed Oughterard
golf-course; hill-walking, hiking and climbing in the nearby Twelve Bens and Maamturk mountain ranges (30 minutes
away by car); horse-riding, cycling or walking the many local routes around Oughterard. Galway city is only 27 km away
and great for shopping and eating out.
Or simply come and enjoy one of the most beautiful and unspoilt landscapes of Europe, where the striking peaks of the
Twelve Bens and the Maamturks meet the crashing waves of the Atlantic. Day tours are possible to Clifden,
Roundstone, Westport and Kylemore Abbey.
Oughterard is the perfect place to relax and explore Connemara.
And in the evening, after a busy day touring the West of Ireland, enjoy a good meal in one of Oughterard's lovely
restaurants, offering the best of Irish cuisine, seafood and much more, - there's something for everyone. Afterwards
enjoy a pint of Guinness, Irish Coffee and traditional Irish music and live bands in one of the pubs. It's all just two
minutes walk from Fough East
