This rural Galway youth hostel is in the most beautiful area in the heart of Connemara! In front of the Ben Lettery hostel is a long lake and behind it are the stunning Twelve Bens Mountains, ideal for hill walking and cycling. This area of Ireland is magical and is renowned for its beauty. A visit here will never be forgotten!
Nearby are the villages Clifden (13km) and Recess (8km/ shop, pub and petrol station only). But also the pretty village of Roundstone (14km) situated on the Atlantic ocean. Inisboffin, the island of legend and folklore, can be visited from nearby Cleggan. Also a good base to visit the Aran Islands (45 min. from Rossaveal where the ferry operates).
