One can overnight in Irish speaking households along the route and immerse oneself in the culture, landscapes an dimagination of one of the oldest and most beautiful languages of the world. The walk extends from Galway city along the shores of Galway Bay through An Spideal (Spiddle), An Ceathru Rua (Carraroe), Ros Muc and Carna, hen northwards to Letterfrack and Glen Craff to join up with the Western Way. The way stretches over the spectacular landscapes of Connemara, through hill and bogland to the north, and along the coast to the south.
