On the north side of the peninsula you will find golden sandy beaches in sheltered bays that are safe for swimming and nice for sun bathing weather permitting. P.S 2007 was not a good year for sun bathing anywhere in Ireland. However the Renvyle peninsula has many more treats in store.

Good restaurants, hotels, pubs, horse riding, fishing, absailing, scuba diving and theatre performance. Renvyle also has a really good garage if your car breaks down. Michael James will sort it out for you!!!.

Renvyle is also famous with many literary scholars attributing it’s wild beauty to their own creative inspiration. W.B Yeats frequented Renvyle as his family owned a summer house there and also Renvyle House Hotel was the home of Oliver St John Gogerty.

Letterfrack is a small vibrant village on a crossroads beside the sea with a large village green surrounded by trees and overlooked by the majestic Diamond Mountain and Connemara National Park.

Candlelit music sessions and poetry readings are held nine Fridays through the year in the local National School (see Events Calendar). As well as other organised and impromptu sessions there is live traditional music every Sunday through out the year in the Bards Den Pub.

The village also has a great choice of places to eat and drink from its three pubs two of which serve a high standard of bar food and dinners to the award winning and atmospheric Pangur Ban restaurant or dine in the old style elegance of The Rosleague Manor Hotel. The village also has a great café and take-away just off the village green and a tea shop at the National Park.
