Hello,
My husband and I are hoping to take a trip to Ireland this summer. We'd like to spend about a week there and we'll rent a car. We'd like to pick a spot with beautiful nature and not overly crowded with tourists, where we could take 4–5 good hikes (maybe 2–6 miles long). Both Connemara and the area around Killarney National Park seemed like good options. I also love the idea of visiting one of the small islands off the western coast like the Aran Islands or the Great Blasket Island, depending on which area we decide to visit.
Does anyone have any recommendations of Connemara area (+ Aran Island) vs Killarney National Park (+Great Blasket Island)? Does one or the other fit that description better?
Thanks,
Katie
