The western division of the Galway county has a substratum of granite,
and is barren, rugged and mountainous. It is divided into the three
districts of Connemara, Jar-Connaght and Joyces Country; the name
of Connemara is, however, often applied to the whole district. Its
highest mountains are the grand and picturesque group of Bunnabeola,
or the Twelve Bens or Pins, which occupy a space of about 25 sq. m.,
the highest elevation being 2695 ft. Much of this district is a gently
sloping plain, from 100 to 300 ft. above sea-level. Joyces Country,
farther north, is an. elevated tract, with flat-topped hills 1300
to 2000 ft. high, and deep narrow valleys lying between them.This
view shows Clifden castle , Pass of Kylemore, Kylemore Castle.
