Oughterard is an attractive, bustling village right on the shores of one of Ireland's premier fishing locations, Lough Corrib. It is considered the trout angler's dream.

Your fishing will be influenced by an ancient ambience secreted in the rugged landscape of Connemara. James will be happy to advise you where the fish are biting!

But it's not only for anglers! Oughterard and its surrounding area offers golfing on the newly developed Oughterard golf-course; hill-walking, hiking and climbing in the nearby Twelve Bens and Maamturk mountain ranges (30 minutes away by car); horse-riding, cycling or walking the many local routes around Oughterard.

Or simply come and enjoy one of the most beautiful and unspoilt landscapes of Europe, where the striking peaks of the Twelve Bens and the Maam Turks meet the crashing waves of the Atlantic.
