Clifden, the capital of Connemara is a desolate looking town 2 hours journey from the west of Galway. Clifden is located between the Atlantic and the peaks of the Twelve Bens. This gives Clifden an almost alpine air. Two landmark buildings are found in this town: the Protestant Church built in 1820 and the Catholic Church, built in 1830. The Proestant Chruch has a silver copy of the Cross of Cong. Nearby the Catholic Church is an ancient Clochan from which Clifden takes its name.
Nearby in the area is the Ballynahinch Castle and County Galaway.
