connemara national park

Within the park itself there's a wide variety of wildlife. Birds such as skylarks, chaffinches, robins and wrens are just some of the common songbirds within the park. Birds of prey that are sometimes seen include the kestrel and sparrow hawk.

Rabbits, foxes, stoats, shrews, and bats are often observed at night. The largest mammal in the park is the Connemara Pony. Although a domestic animal this pony is very much part of the Connemara countryside.
There's a vast countryside to be seen in the park and what better way to do it but in a scenic drive. There are many patches of road that will allow you to pull over, get out of the car and look in awe at the countryside that surrounds you.
