Our region stretches from the small green fields and stone walls at the north of the county, east to the rich farmlands of the Shannon River basin, south to the unique karst landscape of the Burren and into the west to Galway city, the trout fishing capital of Europe, Lough Corrib, and the hills of Connemara, and along the wild, rugged Atlantic coast to our islands. Our rich soils and mild maritime climate produce grass that enables a strong and sustainable agricultural sector. Galway has one of the highest densities of restaurants in the country and our chefs work tirelessly with producers to promote the best of our region’s bounty on their menus.
