Connemara is located in the West of Ireland, its beauty and mystique are unrivalled. It is one of the last unspoilt areas in the Emerald Isle. The Twelve Bens and Mamturk mountain ranges are located here.
"Connemara" derives from the tribal name Conmacne Mara, which designated a branch of the Conmacne, an early tribal grouping that had a number of branches located in different parts of Connacht. Since this particular branch of the Conmacne lived by the sea, they became known as the Conmacne Mara (sea in Irish is muir, genitive mara, hence "of the sea"). The area in the east of what is now Connemara was called Delbhna Tír Dhá Locha.
