Clifden, the largest town in Connemara, is located in County Galway in Ireland. Often referred to as ‘the Capital of Connemara’, Clifden is situated on the Owenglin River and is a popular tourist destination especially if one is touring Connemara.
Located on the west coast of Ireland, this town enjoys a mild climate along with ample rainfall under the influence of the Gulf Stream, with severe windstorms between August and March. Extreme conditions like blizzards, thunderstorms or flash flooding, though rare, can be expected.
In the early 1900s, Guglielmo Marconi built his transatlantic wireless telegraphy station in this town. Today with a population of about 3,200 inhabitants, the woollen and tweed industry contribute to the local economy here.
