The Renvyle Peninsula lies in County Galway, north of Letterfrack in Connemara. This beautiful headland is best explored on a scenic drive.

Visiting the Renvyle Peninsula

A peninsula in the heart of Connemara

The peninsula can be reached via the Connemara Loop, a scenic route around the headland, starting at Tully Cross. The road skirts Lough Fee, set in a lush green valley covered with rhododendrons.

Fishing is permitted on this beautiful lake, which is overlooked by the Twelve Bens, Garraun Mountain and Tully Mountain.

The route continues past Killary Harbour and the villages of Lettergesh and Tully Cross, with magnificent views and fine sandy beaches along the way.
Do not miss the village of Tully, with its traditional fishing harbour, several restaurants and Irish pubs.

Continue to the tip of the Renvyle Peninsula, home to the beautiful White Strand beach and the ruins of Renvyle Castle.

Then return towards Letterfrack for sweeping views of the Twelve Bens. Continue through Derryinver before visiting the Connemara Ocean and Country Museum, which explores the history of Connemara and its rural way of life.
